How long is the typical treatment and recovery timeline for an ACL Tear?
The surgery itself takes about 1 to 2 hours, followed by a hospital stay of 1 to 2 days. After discharge, you will need to use crutches for 2 to 4 weeks and begin physical therapy. Most patients can return to light daily activities within 6 weeks, but full return to sports typically requires 6 to 9 months of rehabilitation.
