I can't help you sorry but it would be helpful if you put
your thread titles relating to what you're asking about. So, for
example if you put 'tibial tubercle transfer' as your heading you have a higher chance of attracting the attention of someone who it relates to rather than someone skipping past it because they don't know what the thread is about.

Me! I had that done at 18. I was in a full splint for around 8 weeks (on crutches for the same amount of time) and then had to do loads of physio. It was a good while before I had enough strength in my leg to push the clutch in on my car (manual).
Any other questions I'm happy to answer. I do remember them telling me that I'd wake up and feel a bit of pain but I didn't require any pain meds except for panadol (high pain threshold)
