Yep
I broke my collar bone playing football, about 10 years ago. Eight weeks later, first game back, I was trying a wee too hard and tore my ACL - very weird feeling btw.
Anyway, the operation is straight forward but you are on heavy duty pain meds for a couple of weeks, during which time you really can't put any weight on the leg.
From there it is a couple of weeks hobbling on crutches, followed by 4-6 months of physical therapy.
The biggest issue for me was the muscle wasting that happened after the op. It really does significantly impact your life for at least 3 month.
I hope your mates op goes well.
