A member asked:
I tore my acl (complete tear, patella tendon), mcl (minor tear, bioscrews and stitches), and meniscus (had to trim 1/3). how long before i can run?

Varies: It varies somewhat based upon surgical preference, you certainly would want to clear it with your surgeon. all that being said, 12 weeks would be a general time frame in which one could often return to light jogging with those injuries/surgery.
