How soon can i walk without crutches after having acl reconstructive surgery using my hamstring?

Ask your surgeon: Progressive weight bearing can usually start as soon as the day after depending on your pain level and stability. Each surgeon has a different protocol depending on what they did in surgery. I would recommend you speak with your surgeon for directions on your rehab.
