How Long after Acl Surgery Can I Play Golf?

Typically, you can start playing golf around 3 months post-op. However, this would depend on the surgeon's instructions and your own rehab progress.

Most people can play golf at 6-8 weeks, depending on how quickly their joint recovers.

The latest study showed that all athletes undergoing revision ACL surgery had OA when they were re-examined 37 (12–58) months after the reoperation 30 (because this study includes patients with two or more ACL injuries, it could not be included in fig 1 or table 1).

Yes and No. You should have fun while you are recovering but don't put yourself in any more danger than necessary. Is it safe to return to sport? There is no one answer to this question as each individual's injury needs will be unique. However, there are a few general things to keep in mind: - Talk to your doctor or sports medicine specialist about the safest way for you to return to sport. - Make sure you are physically ready for activity before you begin. - Use the correct equipment and footwear for the activity, and take basic safety precautions such as wearing a helmet and checking for ice conditions before startingsports.

Complete ACL tears, meaning when the entire ligament is torn and/or removed from the joint, typically result in an inability to run, squat or jump. Football players are particularly susceptible to ACL injuries because of their acute exposure to this type of injury. Golfers also experience ACL injuries occasionally, but they tend to be more minor and can typically be treated with a brace or physical therapy. However, if the tear extends beyond the joint surface, surgery may be necessary. Outcome rates for complete ACL tears vary, but often include long-term disability.
