Surgeon Decision: Physical therapy after surgery should always be guided by the surgeon. In general acl recovery takes several months so don't be surprised if you are on restrictions for quite some time. In any case pick a good surgeon and trust him/her.

3-4 months: Typically the leg is not strong enough prior to this.
