Ripped the left leg's ACL skiing 10 years ago.
Had the op ( repaired with a bit of my hamstring apparently - not sure if that's still the norm ? )
Recovery time was about 12 months all told but I've still not gone back to the slopes ( yet ???? )
I'm not sure if non-surgery works ?
If you do ever opt for surgery, somehow beforehand I reckon build up your quad muscles as strong as possible then blast the physio.
I think Michael Owen , with pro-footballers physique took over 10 months to get back and some would argue he was never the same.
Good luck either way !
