I was in a motorcycle accident in Oct 2020 and tore both my ACL and meniscus in my right knee. There was other damage also (I have a titanium rod in my left femur and the tip of my right tibia was damaged) and I'm just now walking again. The way the ortho surgeon explained it to me is that there is still a lot of stiffness in the joint that may counteract any instability from the injury, so we should wait and see, but said if it becomes a problem in the future, he'd recommend surgery. I was very active in martial arts and scuba diving prior to the accident and I'm worried that doing nothing will hinder my ability to participate fully in these activities.

I'm a 55 y.o. male in good shape with no underlying health conditions (other than the accident).

My main concern is cost and time for recovery (will I be able to work).

Thanks
