4 Weeks From Surgery Date

Wow, can't believe it's been 4 weeks since my surgery. I'm actually a lot further along in rehab than what I expected. Pre-surgery I talked to dozens of people who had ACL reconstruction and rate of rehab was a wide range. I was expecting to be in full leg post op brace for at least 4-6 weeks and on crutches for at least 2-3. By the end of day 8 I was off the crutches with brace unlocked. By day 13 I was out of my full leg brace.

Day 6: Stopped using crutches
Day 10: Unlocked knee brace
Day 13: Stopped using knee brace
Day 14: Working out on elliptical trainer
Week 4: 131 degrees of bend
