How long does it take to recover from ligament surgery

How long it takes to recover from ligament surgery is a case-by-case analysis. If the ligaments of the upper extremity have undergone surgery, it often takes 4-6 weeks of recuperation to recover, because the ligaments of the upper extremity do not have high weight-bearing requirements, and the requirements for strength are not very high, instead, the requirements for flexibility and extensibility are higher, and functional training is often needed as soon as possible to restore the function of the ligaments, so the time is slightly shorter. If surgery is performed on the ligaments of the lower limbs, it often takes 8-12 weeks to recover, because the ligaments of the lower limbs have very high strength requirements, that is, they need to be strong, and the requirements for flexibility are not as high as those of the upper limbs, so it takes a longer repair time for the ligaments to be completely firm, healed and repaired, and for the corresponding activities and functional training. It is recommended that the patient consult with the surgeon about the specific repair time.
