How long should i do physical therapy if i tore my acl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on surgeon: Every orthopaedic surgeon has a slightly different rehabilitation protocol after acl injury or surgery. Physical therapy is an important tool to use to help you recovery from your injury. Therapy can last from 2-12 weeks depending on the individual and the severity of the injury.
