A member asked:

Can my son 13 years old go at six flags in roller coaster after 3 months of torn meniscus and complete reconstruction acl surgery? thank you !

Rollercoasters: It typically takes 6-8 months to fully recover from ACL reconstruction. At 3 months, the knee is at risk for reinjury as the quad/hamstring muscles are typically weak. Any type of twisitng or forceful stress on the knee could result in reinjury. Recommend avoiding amusement park rides until fully recovered and released to full activity by your surgeon.

Ask the orthopedic: three months after knee surgery, he should be OK. But it is better if you ask the orthopedic surgeon who is more aware of the extent of the injury,and the extent of the repair,and is more qualify to answer this question. Again generally three month after knee surgery,usually the healing is complete,including any physical therapy associated with it
