My left knee ACL was replaced with a graft during surgery 4 months ago but I still don't have full extension in my knee. What exercises or suggestions do you have to help improve my range of motion?

To regain full knee extension after ACL reconstruction surgery, focusing on specific exercises and stretches, alongside proper rehabilitation, is crucial. Heel slides, quad sets, and hamstring stretches are particularly helpful. Gentle, controlled movement and pain management are key to safely increasing range of motion

How can I tell if my right knee ACL injury needs surgery and how do I figure out how severe the injury is

To determine if your ACL injury requires surgery, and its severity, a doctor will typically use a combination of your symptoms, physical examination, and imaging tests like X-rays or MRI. A complete tear or severe instability usually indicates a need for surgery, while minor tears may be managed with physical therapy.

Can grade 1 anterolisthesis at L4-L5 with a disc bulge heal naturally without surgery, or is surgery the only option? Will proper exercises and less strenuous activities help the vertebrae return to their original position, or will it eventually progress to higher grades and require surgery later?

surgery is advised,discectomy is advised.
