What are the main risks and what is the recovery timeline?
Risks include graft failure, infection, blood clots, stiffness, and persistent instability, though these are uncommon with proper technique and rehabilitation. Recovery involves 6-9 months: the first 2-3 weeks on crutches, followed by progressive physical therapy. Return to sports typically occurs at 9 months, subject to strength and stability milestones.
