The recovery time is variable but the first 85% of the recovery takes about four months. Usually people are off the walker or cane in 2-4 weeks and then are working on ROM and quad strength for 6 weeks to three months. It takes about three months before they are sleeping comfortably through the night. It takes about 12-18 months until you can say the knee is as good as it is going to get. The most important thing for recovery is to make sure to get as much ROM in the first 4 weeks and then to work hard on the PT for the first three months. Hope that helps.
