I do have a couple of questions if any one can help:1. The wire loop that some people have put in throughout the knee cap and shin to hold things together until the tendon is healed: I have noticed people on here talking about being given a date to have it removed. My surgeon just said that at some stage in the future it would eventually snap ("like a paper clip that keeps getting bent") Is this normal? And does anyone know if it causes a lot of pain when it does eventually snap?2. I am probably just being paranoid here but I keep wondering if maybe the tendon has pulled apart again. It is so sore all the time and when I try doing any kind of straightening of the leg when lying back there doesn't seem to be even a twitch of movement - just like things were before the op. my physio also seems surprised that there is absolutely nothing doing there yet. I have a follow up appointment with my surgeon on Friday which will hopefully put my mind at ease but I was wondering if there is anything I could do that might put my mind at ease that there really is a tendon there?? Is it common for things to come apart after an op or is that very unlikely? I was told after the op that it reattaching the tendon had been like "sewing jelly" because the surger had been so long after the injury which is part of the reason I am worried.I hope you are all doing well.Stuart
