ACL Graft stretch?
Answer:
Bending your knee like that is good to prevent scar tissue from building and preventing you from bending it in the future. 110 degrees is great in the first week or two, I would not push beyond that until 3 wks out when 120 is your goal. Also make sure you are focusing just as much attention on getting the knee straight. As far as stretching the graft, that happens when you walk a lot on your leg without a brace and your muscles are weak. As long as you are strengthening you quad since surgery then you will be fine.
i hope that you're going through physical therapy for this...talk to them, if not call your doctor to be sure!
but, i went through acl and they have me getting range of motion immediately after my surgery, and it's better to get it back asap. without overdoing it, of course. don't be forcing it, but if it's coming quickly without extreme pain it should be fine. "listen to your body". i know they advised me that 'pain shows you where to stop'
i don't know how you're achieving this or anything like that, but consult with you physician and PT, and get the answers you're looking for!!!
take care
