I thought the reason for doing isolation exercises like leg extensions was to pre-exhaust the quads before compound exercises like squats and leg presses...
I have chondromalacia and top range leg extensions do indeed help. Most people incur this from an old injury that causes them to limp or not use their quads...
Leg extensions, like any other isolation exercise, can be a useful tool. The are good for re-hab, training around an injury, bringing up a lagging part, and...

That was a great post, Casler's I mean, and I agree, especially on the two comments of his that I left below. I've done extensions on a plate-loaded machine ...

... If the surgery is only on one foot, you might be able to do one-legged exercises. (I'd suggest learning them, so you can balance, while you still have...
