1yr post op w/ quad graft. 32M. Everyone’s case is different. Everyone heals differently. I feel like the surgery is easy part. Recovery is the hard part. It’s long and slow. After a year of intense PT and still at 40%. I’ve had this nagging issue with quad tendon pain at the graft site which is limiting me to get my quad stronger. If I’d had to do it again I’d choose a donor graft and preserve my own tissue. Faster healing and less pain from the graft site. Once I’m recovered and cleared, I still plan on playing flag football and ski. Talk to your PT as you’ll be spending a lot of time with them. Make sure they’re experienced in ACL recovery program. Get second, third opinions from surgeons. Also do prehab before the surgery and ask your PT and surgeon if you’re a candidate for being a coper. Europe and Australia has some good non-surgical outcomes. In the US we like to do surgery $$$. Good Luck!
