I had mine done back in 93' from a treestand accident 3rd day of bow season Oct 17 1993 and could not have the surgery until Nov 4th..Dr. David Burrant(think thats how you spell the name)he moved to Tn. in the late 90's I believe..I have the surgery on VHS tape but still get a little nausea's if I watch it knowing it's my knee..lol ..seems to me it took 2-3 months to heal up completely..I remember all of the machines etc they used to slowly stretch and bend my knee/leg plus the apparatus I had to wear to dial in how much bend I could put on my knee..I also remember hobbling around on crutches to hunt a time or 2 before the season went out
