Can i start playing football again 9 months after acl reconstruction?

Typically: An acl graft usually matures between 6 and 9 months after surgery, depending on the type of graft (your own, or a cadaver), from a graft standpoint, you should be able to play football. However, your return to play also involves your quad control, proprioception (ability to sense your body's position in space), and general conditioning. Your orthopedist should be assisting you on that assessment!

It's Possible: After any surgery, it takes time to heal from it. Most people with ACL repair surgeries will take 3-4 months to feel like the knee feels stable and stronger as the graft sets in. Obviously following your doctor's orders are key and when rehab starts follow it to a T. You will do just fine. If you are concerned talk to your doctor. If surgery not planned consider Regenexx Stem Cell Therapies.
