Big difference between a ligament and cartilage injury

No way 8 to 10 weeks after knee ligament surgery
Cartilage recovery is typically 8 to 10 weeks

So it all depends on the precise nature of the injury. An impact injury is more likely to be cartilage. Whereas a twisting action on the knee is more likely to affect the ligaments

Not a medical person, but have had both injuries.
