Acl post surgery timeline. what's that like, what to do?

Typical protocol for: Me is bracing in hinged brace. Dressing off at 4-7 days and then you can shower. Stitches out at 14 days. All the while therapy in the brace and wean out of brace 4-6 weeks once quad strength has returned. Crutch use typically is done by 2-3 weeks. Then pt 2-3 times a week until about 2-3 months.

You will have some discomfort in the knee every day even if small for about 14 months. It will be at about 18 months that your knee will be pain free. Also, the leg that had the surgery really needs to be trained constantly in your mind to use it in a normal way once you are allowed to do any activity. Your brain is now trained that is your injured knee and it needs to be convinced it is not.
