When can I play golf after mpfl repair and cartilage replacement surgery in my knee?

4 months minimum, and 8 months are the maximum time period from which you have to refrain from any physical activity that's related to sports.

Explanation:

Most commonly after MPFL reconstruction, you will be placed in a knee immobilizer that holds the knee straight for the first two weeks after surgery.

Most people can generally return to sport or play sometime between 4 to 7 months after MPFL reconstruction. If you are considering the surgery, be aware than recovery times may vary and can be dependent on your individual anatomy, capacity to heal and general health prior to surgery.

no, because those are both different running competitions. while distance runners train their legs and their lungs to run long amounts of time, the sprinters are training their legs and their lungs to give all they have in the little amount of area they need to cover. the brain also plays a huge part in all of this.

the brain is the only thing in your body that sends messages to your body telling you to run. if you are a long distance runner and you have the mind set of a sprinter, you will not get anywhere. if you have a long distance mind set and you have to run 200m in 20 seconds then you will not make it in time.
