I'm having my second acl repair surgery. they are taking it from my hamstring. how long will i expect to be on crutches?

2 weeks or less : Sorry you have to undergo ACL reconstruction again! Hope all goes well. Quadruple/ bundle hamstring autograft for ACL reconstructions are fairly common in revision cases as are allografts. If your quadriceps strength is good now then u should be able to discontinue crutches generally 2-3 weeks after surgery.( quicker w/ allograft). Strengthen your quads now..! Best of Luck!
