Followup visit: At this point after acl reconstruction, you should have about as much motion as you are going to get. Sometimes the motion is not just limited by lack of effort, and can reflect other problems. A meniscus repair that has not healed or acl graft positioning can cause stiffness that cannot be overcome. The muscle weakness you just need to work and push through! time for a recheck!
