Has anyone here had it done on their knee? I'm curious what the realistic time frame was before you were able to hop back in the pool and swim. I'm thinking once the wounds heal I might be able to do some nonkicking swimming, but I'd be interested to hear about anyone who has firsthand experience.

Heidi,
This surgery can be from 15 minutes to as long as an hour and 53 minutes in my case. Obviously the more they go arround inside the longer the recovery.
The Docs will say no kicking for several weeks, and getting into and out of a pool will be very difficuly unless you have stairs.
My injury was from breaststroke kicking, so it was about six months before I could kick. I did a lot of toe lifts and knee extensions.
