So did you had a surgery? Or is it still left?

Did you have an MRI? If you have scar tissue in the joint, then you won't have full FOM. I went back under after 14 months to remove a lesion. The ortho said my scar tissue happens in less than a %. So, it does happen.

The scope is a million times better than the recon!!!! I was walking unassisted that day, but this will be different for everyone.

Good luck,

I tore my ACL in February. Had surgery March 7th. Rehab has been hard. Three months later I cannot fully extend my leg; best I can bend it is about 110 degrees. The surgeon wants to do a "scope" to take out some of the scar tissue and to fix my patella, which is very tight. Has anyone else had this done?
