I don't have an answer for that. I will say that the better shape a person is going into surgery, generally the sooner they recover.
Depends on graft used.Bone patella bone autograft is generally the most stable.All grafts need blood vessel incursion.The minimum for this to occur is usually 6 months.Average walking with a brace often can start easy at 3 weeks.
