Replying to If you’ve had Acl Op- Knee pop after surgery
Today marks 3 weeks since my acl got rebuilt. Leg accidentally extended fully and I heard a pop in my knee. No pain. I was still like “oh fuck I just tore it” and freaked out. Immediately felt better and found I was able to walk more normally. However I noticed it felt like it did pre-op when the ligament was torn. Tibia kinda movin around (not nearly as much tho) and knee feeling looser. No pain or additional swelling. Based on research and word from homies, I think it was just scar tissue breaking up/releasing. Also can’t imagine tearing the graft while my knee was in-line because the new acl is apparently very stretchy during this point in the recovery.
Going to PT tomorrow to get it checked out
