ACL surgery: The timing of walking depends on your surgery. The devices used to hold the graft in place may be different from surgeon to surgeon. Some allow walking inside your crutches right away. If you are to aggressive you can actually pull the graft along your fixation devices and created more slack than the surgeon wanted. It's really best to ask your operating surgeon.
