Exactly
THough doctors do try to rush you into putting weight on the leg as soon as possible after the surgery i dont expect him to walk without crutches for about 3 more weeks. I remember when i had my ACL surgery. getting that knee to bend again is the first challenge. Once you get that down it's all just a matter of strenghtening it and you're good.
The rest will be mostly mental. He has to build confidence in the knee again so he doesnt think about it when he jumps
Never had the surgery.
16 years later and SOHH's is more reliable then my knee
