In this 2 part episode series, we dive into experiencing numbness after ACL surgery/reconstruction.  We dive into the background as to why ACLers might experience numbness, what nerves might be impacted in surgery, why it happens, and how common it is in ACLers. This helps us set the stage for part 2, where we dive into some of other questions you may have regarding the recovery.Here are the picture links I mentioned in the episode:<br/><br/>Lower Leg Nerve Branches (super cool image):<br/>https://images.app.goo.gl/vdgGu6pDosKJwsaB9<br/><br/>Different Branches:<br/>https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-surgical-anatomy-of-the-infrapatellar-branch-of-Kerver-Leliveld/cca00df506af44ea2b0b18d11876db3553605fe9/figure/5<br/><br/>Cadaver Image:<br/>https://josr-online.biomedcent....ral.com/articles/10. <br/><br/>Anatomical Variations:<br/>https://images.app.goo.gl/LpDEmrBLsVTPw6Lt7 <br/>Sign up for The ACL Athlete Newsletter: https://bit.ly/theaclathletenewsletter<br/><br/>If you found value in today's episode, please leave a review so we can reach more and more ACL athletes just like you.<br/><br/>Ways we can connect:<br/>My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dpt<br/>My website: www.theaclathlete.com <br/>Email: ravi@theaclathlete.com
