Acl surgery 12 weeks ago hamstring my knee feels loose did i do something to the graft or anything what does mean when my knee feels loose

Graft should be fine: Unless you had a major injury and felt a pop in your knee, the likelihood of injuring your graft the first 12 weeks after ACL surgery is very minimal. Your graft should be fine. The sensation of the knee feeling loose after ACL surgery is usually due to quad muscle weakness. Your quad muscle gets very week after surgery and makes you feel like your knee is loose but it isn't actually loose.
