Reevaluation: Swelling can occur especially after a physically taxing day. If it does not improve, recommend notifying your orthopedic surgeon for followup visit. NSAIDs may be taken to help with reducing swelling

Had ACL revision surgery (patellar tendon) with a modified Lemaire tenodesis. At 7 weeks post there's still significant swelling, can't hyperextend the knee, have between 130-140 degrees of flexion, and have just begun light gym work. This normal?

6 weeks after ACL surgery, knee flexion is 90-100, extension lag is 30. Supra patellar swelling present. When can I get full flexion and extension?

I had ACL reconstruction both knees- 2005 Left and 2009 right. Both are torn again 100%. Doctor suggests new surgeries by taking tendons from patella.
