David's ACL Surgery

Week 1

Photos taken in the first week after surgery.


Four days after surgery (02/24/03). The first time the bandages were removed since surgery

 

Close-up taken at the same time, showing the cuts the doctor made

 

(02/26/03) A closeup of the large cut below the knee (with 7 staples) where the hamstring was harvested, one of the two main access cuts (2 staples), and the drain cut (1 staple?).


Wrapping the knee and bandage in Glad Wrap so I can have a shower. The plastic kept the bandage dry quite successfully

(02/28/03) A closeup of the donor incision and access cut above it (to the right). I hope to have the staples taken out by Dr Kobe on Monday.

What my knee looks like after 1 week (8 days to be exact). I'm still wearing the brace and the compression bandage everywhere.
