How long does it take to recover from posterolateral corner reconstruction?
The recovery from posterolateral corner reconstruction varies based on the extent of the injury, your age, and how well you follow Dr. Ramkumar’s post-operative instructions. You can expect to use crutches for 2-4 weeks and wear a knee brace for up to six weeks. You can begin toe-touch weight-bearing with the crutches and progress to full weight-bearing activities when Dr. Ramkumar gives you the okay. You can resume normal household activities between 4-6 weeks after surgery. A full recovery to sports can take up to 9 months.
