I would like help to figure out how long i'll be out of sports. i tore my acl!?

Typically ~ 9 months: Exact months may vary depending upon your specific injury and any presence of meniscal or cartilage damage being treated. Typically we tell athletes they will miss one season, and this translate to about 9 months until you are allowed unlimited cutting and pivoting activities after acl reconstruction.
