I'm glad your second surgeon mentioned that straight leg extensions, sometimes called "quad sets" are a nice way to strengthen the quads with no strain on the patella.

I'm actually surprised gyms have these machines. IMO they do more harm than good. And to add injury to insult, they add nothing to day-to-day functioning.
