What causes the high rate of osteoarthritis at the patella femoral joint 10 years after an ACL reconstruction. We think it is probably due to some of the exercises and deep squats, and a lack of quadriceps strength throughout the rehab add to these degenerative changes at 10 years.

Why do up to 50% of patients at 10 years post ACL reconstruction get osteoarthritic changes behind their kneecap?
I believe unfortunately many of the rehabilitation programs performed by physiotherapists are actually producing these degenerative changes at 10 years.

How to approach a double knee replacement?

It’s too difficult to do both knees at the same time, with an increase likelihood of complications. It is better to do them one at a time, and do the first knee replacement with at least eight weeks of physio, and then the second knee replacement.

The video below is a patient who did this, and one can see how well he’s walking at 11 weeks following the commencement of this process
