A member asked:
What are the functional restrictions after having an acl repair?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: After the acl reconstruction has matured, which takes 6-8 months, the body has grown into the new acl graft, and there should be no restrictions. After a new reconstruction, we limit running/jumping/pivoting to allow this graft to mature. Depending on technique and graft, we typically avoid running and jumping for 3-4 months and pivoting for 6-9 months.
