Hey, Mike!
Still have to wear the brace on the leg (which really blows).
I got referred to another orthopedic surgeon who is going to do some arthroscopic work to remove some built-up scar tissue around the knee that is preventing me from being able to bend my knee the 90 degrees it's supposed to be able to do. He will manipulate the knee while I'm under general anesthesia to see that it does bend the 90 degrees after he finishes scoping the knee.
The thumb is faring better. I got it out of the splint a couple of weeks ago (the pins came out of the thumb about four weeks ago), and I am slowing getting my range of motion back there. Lots of hand and thumb exercises to do 3X daily. I do have some unexpected arthritis in the four fingers, but I guess I can live with that, as long as I get the thumb to eventually bend like it should. I hope to be able to try working a clutch lever again by the end of this year!
(Sorry for temporarily 'jacking this thread, folks!)
