VerifiedCommon questions
How long is recovery after ACL reconstruction?
Most people walk without crutches within a few weeks and resume desk work within one to two weeks. Return to competitive sports commonly takes nine to twelve months, guided by strength and stability testing.
Which graft type is best?
Common options include patellar tendon, hamstring, and quadriceps tendon grafts from your own body, or donor tissue. Each has trade-offs, and the right choice depends on your age, sport, and goals, your surgeon will walk you through them.
Does a torn ACL always need surgery?
No. Some people with lower-demand lifestyles do well with physical therapy alone. Surgery is typically recommended for active people who want to return to pivoting sports or who have ongoing instability.
