quick question:
A friend is due some knee surgery on his Cruciate Ligament in a couple
of weeks time.
Should he be doing any exercises on the knee prior to the op and if so
which ones?

That depends on the exact nature of his injury, and this is what the
doctor will know about and instruct him. Anything we suggest here would
be nothing more potentially disastrous speculation. The answer is: ask
him to ask his surgeon.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. To jump to the end
of the story, as a result of this I need a bone marrow transplant. Many
people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please

Since it sounds like he has a damaged ligament, I doubt it.

That is a question which his doctor should answer. He
would be the one who knows what strengthening exercises
would not harm the knee any further pre surgery.

I'm sorry forgot to mention, I did say to him, whatever replies I got
here, he ws to ask his surgeon about it before proceeding.

Thanks for the replies.
