I wish there was: There is no magic to speeding up you acl recovery. Prior to doing surgery it is important to strengthen and rehab your knee so it is strong as possible prior to surgery. This will help minimize the atrophy and weakness after surgery. Minimizing the swelling postoperatively and initiating isometric and straight leg exercise afterwards will also help prevent atrophy.
