I'm a 21 yr old Stores Manager at a Coal export facility in North Queensland, Australia. Whilst playing a game of Rugby League fell aqwardly in a tackle, forcing my tibia to hyper- extend vertically. Meaning my toes were touching my chin and my hamstring was now longer than it had ever been before. This also ruptured my popliteal artery behind my knee forcing me to have an arterial bypass. Because of the delay in time, getting to the hospital some of my medial and lateral muscles of the lower limb neede to be debrided, and later the need for skin grafts was apparent. My ACL, Medial Miniscus and Medial Collateral Ligaments were torn. And a full knee reconstruction is needed.
I am signing up to this for feedback from anyone who has tips or info about the surgery and recovery process. As i'm still waiting for my surgery. Anything would be helpfull.
