I'm 6 weeks post-op from arthroscopic surgery on my right shoulder for an ALPSA lesion and need to start active movements and external rotation exercises. Since I can't see a physio right now, what exercises can I safely do at home? I also have slight pain during internal rotation should I be concerned about that?

I just got my MRI report and it shows a high grade partial thickness tear in my ACL with some retraction and a small bony avulsion near the tibial eminence. There's also mention of a chip fracture in the posterior tibial plateau with bone marrow edema. Can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? I'm really worried about the extent of the damage and what it means for recovery

ACL RECONSTRUCTION WITH REPAIR POST ROOT OF LATERAL MENISCUS IF UNSTABLE ON PROBING

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

It's been a month since my revision ACL surgery and meniscus repair. I've been doing physio and can bend my knee almost fully, but I still can't straighten it completely like my other knee it stays a bit forward when I stand. Is this normal, or should I be doing something different to help it straighten out?

6 weeks post ACL surgery and my physiotherapist keeps forcefully bending my knee during home visits, causing intense pain. He increases the bend every day with more pressure and also compresses my knee while elevating my leg from the ankle. Is this normal or is he being too aggressive with the recovery process?

Pain from physio should be tolerable; forceful passive bending early on may harm‚Äîconsider a second opinion.
