ouch.....ACL is one of the worst things to injure

Normally 6-9 months depending on rehab. I take it the plan is to let the MCL heal before surgery to reconstruct the ACL and trim/repair the menisci. Usually the torn cartilage is simply trimmed out. If they can repair a meniscus it is better for the long term of your knee, but rehab will take a little longer. However, most meniscus tears can not be fixed.
