What's the Typical Recovery Timeline?

Indicative recovery windows so you can plan your return to sport. Your timeline depends on injury severity, fitness, and rehab adherence.

Ankle Sprain (Grade 1–2)

2–6 weeks

Most return to sport with structured rehab; bracing for higher-grade sprains.

Meniscus Tear (Arthroscopic Repair)

3–6 months

Depends on tear pattern, repair vs. trim, and sport demands.

ACL Reconstruction

6–9 months

Pivot-sport return guided by strength testing, not just time.

Rotator Cuff Repair

4–6 months

Phased rehab; overhead athletes may take longer to full performance.

Tennis Elbow (Conservative)

4–8 weeks

Activity modification, eccentric loading, PRP for stubborn cases.

Timelines are indicative — return-to-sport is always guided by strength testing and functional milestones, not the calendar alone.
