How far off from zero are you. I had a 10 to 20° extension contracture prior to surgery and my surgeon could not get me to more than 6 or 7 ° without compromising stability. So I'm improved and am continuing to try to get it to go all the way straight. I'm 4 months post op. I doubt I'll ever get to and stay at zero.

My operative report says I’m at 3. I haven’t improved at all in 5 months. Surgeon says wherever I will be at a year that is probably the best I’ll get. Not real encouraging.
