When its pain free to the touch...
by: Bart - SII

You should be able to return to playing once your knee is pain free to the touch and you can run and cut without pain or instability. At 12 weeks, you are probably pretty close.

I would talk to your doctor and see what they say, and then gradually work back into your activities. Try the warm up, and then progress from there...take it slow and you should be fine.

But get clearance from your doctor before going back to sports.
