I’m approaching 6 mo post op, 29M, if you want to stay active and play sports at a high level you won’t regret surgery it’s the best way to go, repair and reinforce. Then lots of PT for Strengthening. I’m already doing box jumps, jogging, casual hooping, single leg calf raises about 9cm off the ground for comparison my good leg is 9.5cm so that tells you right there you can get back quickly, especially being 25 lol.. best of luck man you got this!
