Common 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.
