What kind and duration of physical therapy is for acl reconstruction?

Roughly 6 months: This is not my strong suite, as i work with children exclusively. But it is important to rehabilitate under the direct supervision of a skilled physical therapist. Typically the rehab is most intense in the first 6 weeks focused on restoring range of motion. Home exercise program is essential as well. Then several weeks of return to function and eventually sport.

Dr Villaplana agreed

Variable: Physical therapy for acl reconstruction is quite variable and every surgeon has his/her own protocol. Mine is more flexible. As long as you are meeting milestones of range of motion, and increasing quadriceps strength over the first six weeks, i don't required physical therapy. Between 3-4 months after surgery, work is based as much core strengthening as knee. The last step is proprioception.
