Hi Gibsco,
Great news that your knee is feeling strong with good range of motion. Many do complain about the tight band feeling and it's considered a normal part of the recovery process for many. We have an article in the BoneSmart Library that I will link on the topic. If you use the SEARCH at the top right of the page and type in "tight band sensation" you will see how frequently it's mentioned here. At eight months post op, you may deal with it for several more months. Gentle movement throughout the day should help.
I hope you had a nice holiday week and I wish you many blessings in the New Year!

Tight Band feeling across the front of my knee
That tight band is caused by scar tissue but not the adhesions type of scar tissue. When the surgeon opens up the knee, he has to undercut the skin and superficial structures from that centre line to each side of the knee in order to get good access all round the bones. Part of the healing...
