John, Alec and others; thanks for the responses.Small update. Last week Thursday I saw my PT and my new OS. At PT, ROM hit 75 (10 weeks), which is a 20° improvement over 2 weeks. Happy with that if it continues.New OS asked me to perform a straight leg lift with brace off, which I could do with some pain. She cleared me with instructions for PT to wean me from the Zimmer splint, and no restrictions as to PT protocol. I guess anything goes going forward.Question about straight leg lifts: I can do them, but I have a sharp pain just under the skin where patellar tendon joins patella (site of my repair). I have also noticed that the skin is "flat" in that area, and seems to be stuck to the tissue underneath. It does not move freely along with the rest of the skin over the knee. Is this cause for concern? Is the repair causing pain, or is it more superficial? Anybody else experience this, specifically pain during a straight leg lift in full extension, without a brace?John, happy to hear that things are progressing well with you! Walking without the brace on must have been phenomenal. Safe healing to all.Terho
