You can start walking without brace if your quadriceps strength is good. Otherwise, there is a risk of re jerk over the knee which may cause strain over the reconstructed ligament.
Next Steps
It would be better to get clinically assessed by primary surgeon and then decide.
Health Tips
Continue quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises..
