You can do single leg squats and deadlifts, just kinda bend the other leg so only your tippy-toe is touching the floor, just for balance. Also pass-through lunges (not sure if that's the right name) - keep your weak leg as your standing leg and lunge back with the other leg, then lunge forward without a stop, repeat etc.

Will it be a step back lunge???

So like this...

Physical therapy or a trainer at a gym might be a better help for you.

Thanks

I'd imagine you could incorporate similar 2-1 method unilateral quad training.

Your knee/leg will be weaker for now, you had surgery. You must be doing physical therapy assuming you recently had surgery ? My ACL/Menisus repair took a year to function properly.

Try to get help, I used a PT. We did a lot of bridge work and stability work to strengthen core muscles.
