Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I got an injury in my left knee for which I had undergone ACL reconstruction surgery (hamstring graft). Now, I have slight pain when I stretch my leg. There is severe pain when I press the place where the cut for drilling was made (on the right side of the knee). I am afraid if the screw used is displaced or it has undergone damage.
Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understood your query.
Pain after surgery is quite usual because many patients struggle with recovery after a hamstring graft procedure. Problems include strengthening of the quadriceps, T-band, and calf. Proper healing procedures and medical care (physical therapy) are essential to regain strength. Approximately six weeks is required for the bone to attach to the graft. I suggest you do an X-ray.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards.
