i tore my acl and broke my knee cap too

hi...i also tore my acl and then broke my kneecap. first i tore my acl playing lacrosse my senior year of highschool and had surgery just before graduation. about three months later i am a freshman in college and just two weeks after classes started i got into a car accident and broke my kneecap in half on the same knee. the top half of my kneecap looked like it was sticking out of my thy. i had surgery 2 days ago and i am wondering the same question that you were wondering. how strong will my knee be in the future? i know your surgery and PT was a couple years ago so maybe you have some good advice for me. i would like to hear how your knee is now and how everything went.
thanks
