It is possible to answer your question only after assessing your muscle power.
You should consult an expert physiotherapist for complete assessment or your physiotherapist who have been treating you so long.

You mean you are performing exercises by yourself... hard to know if your exercises prepare you to twist?
Visit a physiotherapist for looking at your exercises, examine the knee and provide you good advice
