Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis
G'day all concerned,
My wife has a friend in her 30s who has had her second ACL repair. I believe the first one failed due to her falling over in the bathroom.
She's been out of action for a while but had her surgery. She mentioned something about them cutting her IT band to lengthen it in the surgery and a lek surgery. I think she may have meant a LEAT procedure.
I'm looking at training her as soon as she has the confidence/permission to begin. Currently still in a brace and swollen but she's got 120 degrees of motion on that knee.
Are there any issues with this sort of thing that I should be aware of when the time comes or has anyone dealt with this before that has some advice on where to begin?
Many thanks in advance for any help I can get for her.

Maybe 6 weeks. She is still on crutches and in a brace. She said her surgeon said not yet on squats.Originally Posted by Mark Rippetoe
My general plan is as soon as she is able and willing, I'll start wherever I need to. If that's bodyweight good, if it's a box then so be it.
I was more concerned with the rerouting of her IT band, given it is something I had not heard of.

Ask her for the surgeon's actual report. She doesn't know what she's talking about.
