A member asked:
I am almost 4 mos post acl rec. using pat. tendon. i still have sign. pain and my kneecap pops out going down steps & some daily activities. why?

Weak thigh muscles: Quadriceps muscle (thighs) rehabilitation is one of the main focuses with acl postoperative rehabilitation. Weak quads allow for irregular gliding of the patella in its groove and can manifest as pain and popping. Let your treating surgeon know and re-evaluate your knee soon to make sure this is the problem.
