A member asked:
How do i strengthen my running following osteochondral defect of the knee surgery? it has been 4 months since the screws have been taken out.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Work the whole leg: Build strength above your baseline in the muscles of the belly, back, hips & thighs. Work on your tolerance for impact by skipping and jumping (use calisthenics, plyometrics, your choice). Be sure the surgeon has cleared you for these activities (that there has been good bone growth). Start running on an easy schedule and not where you left off before the surgery. Any pain signals a slow down.
