How long does swelling last after acl reconstruction?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
2-3 months.: Swelling following acl reconstruction is expected. It will go down over a 2-3 month time period gradually. You can ice the knee daily to help keep the swelling down.

Swelling after acl: Swelling can last for up to 4 weeks depending on how much blood oozes into the joint after surgery.
