3-4 weeks: Need to gain full extension in 4-6 weeks post acl especially btb graft. Need to have pt get on it imediatly. Use prone hangs, extension board, no pillows under bend of knee.

Now, ASAP: It is important to have full extension soon after surgery since scar formation can prevent extension and can necessitate further surgery.
