Acl: Continued instabilty after acl sugery could indicate failure of the original surgery or misplacement of the graft.

ACL: Instability after acl reconstruction can be for a number of reasons. Such as non healed meniscus repair, hardware failure, even simply lack of strength. I would see our orthopedist or seek a second opinion if your knee remains unstable despite surgery.

Check with surgeon.: Check with your surgeon. Generally, if your having instability it is usually one of two things: Your ACL is not working properly, or, you may be having instability from a kneecap tracking problem.
