If you are still keeping in touch, could you tell me if the aci worked. I have mixed feelings about having this done because there are a lot of people that had it done and are not 100% after the aci.

I'm 6 weeks post-op and still don't know my results. However, from previous surgeries I know that extension and flexion is a based on the physical therapy and not the surgery. The popping following implantation was something that I was warned about prior to surgery. It is common, but easily correctable by arthoscopic surgery. The results of the procedure depends on correcting those remaining issues - that's what numerous people have told me anyway. Good luck!!

i underwent the carticel procedure nine months ago and am now experiencing more pain than before the surgery. I still havn't gotten full extension and my knee pops whenever i try to straighten it. I have sharp pains along the inner side of my kneecap whever i walk. I would like to know if anyone else post-op has experienced anything like this. Its very frusturating after such a painfull surgery to have such minimal results
