Saw my orthopedic surgeon again today. I've got one more week until I can begin physical therapy. At this point we've opened the brace up to the full 120 degrees and I am allowed to walk with it unlocked. Here comes the best part: once physical therapy begins...NO MORE BRACE.
The doc said I'm well ahead of the curve but we should give it the full six weeks before beginning the PT (which will last six weeks @ 3x / week). Hopefully by the end of PT I will have full range of motion and some semblance of strength (at least body weight squatting???).
