A member asked:
Can you tell me how long until i can play sports with torn acl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most people : Are back to sports by 6 months. Certainly you can get back to running at 3 months and cutting around 4 months. It typically takes 6 or more to get back in good enough shape to compete in sports.
