Resolve : There is a sensory nerve branch that can go numb ... Sometimes it returns and regardless your knee function should recover regardless.

Not normal: Nerve on inside for hamstring graft is saphenous, or the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve. Can be from bandage, retraction or damage. Talk to your dr.
