Hello,
I think that your ACL may not heal in ideal position. some time there is wrong tunnel placement leading to failure of ACL surgery. Other cause can be cyclops lesion. So I would suggest you to get a repeat MRI of the knee joint. It will confirm the diagnosis. If there is any graft failure than you might need a repeat surgery.
If MRI a shows normal graft and well healed ACL than you should continue to work for muscle strengthening exercises. I would also suggest you to take Dicerin tablet daily for cartilage healing.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other follow up questions.
thanks
