Recovery time from acl revision surgery on knee?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
8-9 months: An acl revision is seldom as simple as a first time acl reconstruction, so rehab would often be a bit more guarded. However, given good graft fixation, and a well-performed procedure, the expected recovery should be the same. Expect 6-12 weeks for return to daily activities and 8-9 months ideally before return to cutting sports.

4-9 months: 4 months for low demand, non-sports activity and up to 9 months for full recovery and return to high-impact, pivoting or jumping, contact sports.This is assuming no other joint damage, such as a torn cartilage or other ligament tear was present.

Recovery time varies: Recover time will vary depending on many factors including age, general health of the patient, infection control, smoker or not, blood sugar control, the exact type of procedure, and post-operative and follow up care. Discuss it with your surgeon and get their opinion as to what they feel is a reasonable recovery time for you.
