Rehab for for knee injury

I suffered a dislocated knee 13 days ago and currently in a full leg cast

100% resounded to having surgery to repair ligament damage etc, just awaiting a MRI to fully diagnose damage.

so my question is what sort of physical rehab can I do assuming surgery etc goes all to plan? I want to get back on a bike as soon as possible but don’t want to risk damaging my knee again.

Can anyone who has had a similar injury recommend me any knee supports etc or do you just wear regular mtb knee pads etc.

Thank you for your comment

one bored mountainbiker 😐

no one ever had a knee injury?

They will probably give you physio when the time comes. However, NHS physio can differ from sports physio. Wor lass (ahsat) bust her knee and had to pay for a sports physio to get her knee back to normal. Different injury to yours though. The NHS were satisfied that she had got back to an acceptable standard of life/mobility. She’s pretty much fixed now, just working on fitness and strength but its taken a long time.

ok ta I have private health insurance and a back to work rehab scheme so hopefully I will be able to get a lot more physio than just NHS standard.

Do a search on here. There’s been a load of knee injury / physio threads recently.

I rode the 3 peaks cx 31 days after having a plica removed and some additional debridement…..I’ll be having another op in the new year to rectify all the damage I did by not resting properly.My orthopedic surgeon actually bellowed at me 😳
