Feeling good at month four is the dangerous part. Biology needs longer.
Milestones
Weeks 0–2 swelling control; month 3 jogging; month 5–6 agility; month 9–12 return to competitive sport after objective testing.
Why Not Sooner
The graft is weakest around months 2–4 as it remodels; early return multiplies re-tear risk.
