Your recovery from these injuries are only as good as your surgeon and the graft that's used to replace the torn ligament. The Patellar graft, is a great choice for the fastest rehab. A lot of doctors use the same side patellar as the torn ACL, but it's been proven that if you take the graft from the opposite side of the injury you can return as soon as 3 months post injury. This is the procedure that Dr. Don Shelbourne out of Indy pioneered. Best of luck to this youngman.
I've torn both my ACL's. The last one was in 2009, I had it reconstruced in Indy using the opposite leg patella graft, the surgery was performed by Dr. Don Shelbourne who pioneered the opposite leg graft which cuts your recovery time in half. You walk the day of the surgery, you're never given crutches, and I was cleared to resume sports in exactly 3 months...And I'm an old guy to boot!

Mendenhall from BYU would be a fantastic hire. He wins 9-10 games a year.
