Acl Surgery Recovery Timeline. Your ACL recovery timeline and how fast you can return to the sports field will largely depend on how you progress with your exercises and how your knee responds to the surgery. Although ACL tears don't necessarily end careers like they once did, surgery and recovery can sideline an athlete for months.
Surgery, rest, and rehabilitation are key to your recovery.

ACL surgery can help restore knee function after an ACL injury. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery is typically done to repair damage to the ligament that connects your femur (thighbone) to your tibia (shinbone) and help to keep your knee joint in working order. Though the recovery journey varies from athlete to athlete, our team is focused on helping them get back to their sport as safely as possible to avoid any additional injuries.
