How long would i need to expect for recovery after meniscus and acl rupture injury?

?: If you mean without surgery it would be several weeks of gradual improvement many people would be back to many activities perhaps in a brace by 3 months acl tear and meniscus tears do not heal fully without some surgical intervention but the pt can improve on their own quite a bit sometimes.

Depends: Recovery for sports after acl surgery could be a year. Recovery for walking might only be 8 weeks.
