A member asked:
Can someone tell me how long will an acl injury keep me out for?

Depends: It depends on what activities you are trying to get back to. Should be walking without crutches 2-4 wks after surgery. Typically 6-8 months for full return to sports.

6 months.: If your asking about returning to sport, and you have surgery to reconstruct the ACL, it's generally about 6 months of physical therapy, per our protocol.
