That depends on the instability you currently have in the knee. Incase u have a stable knee, u can.. Just cos you are saying that you have to undergo an ACL surgery doesn't mean u have an unstable knee so it's difficult for doctors to answer this question unless one examines you.

Better ask your current surgeon as he will be the best person to answer
