Update: my DD has been released by ortho & PT at 7 months post op ACL reconstruction & lateral meniscus repair. She started off hitting & pitching at 75% around 5 months, then full pitching with no base running or fielding involving cutting motion at 6 months, to fully released at 7 months. I am sharing this on here, in the hopes of helping the next person who does a search when their daughter has a similar injury/surgery. It was an incredibly LONG process but she got through it & I feel sure will be a better player for it ! We changed her physical therapy at week 15 to a local D1 sport medicine facility & that made a tremendous difference, physically & mentally. Hitting is looking great, she's throwing the ball well, & is getting more sure of her knee every practice. Her surgeon told her the hardest thing, even for professional athletes is to regain their confidence.
