Hello,
The recovery period depends on the injury. Simple strains or sprains can last for one to two weeks. More extensive injuries requiring arthroscopic surgery may take one to three months to heal. Major traumatic injuries to the knee may take up to a year to heal.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
