A member asked:
Cant lift my leg 3 months post acl reconstruction using my quad tendon as a graft.. why is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leg: Your leg is lifted by your quadricep extending the suprapatellar tendon and lifting the leg through the patella. Given they used a quad tendon graft there might be some issues with the tendons connection. You should have your surgeon evaluate this.
