Anecdotally, there are people who have done LL surgery and are back to being able to squat / powerlift monstrous amounts of weight. So I would assume it’s totally possible for the connective soft tissue to get to a good state post-surgery.

Of course, this isn’t hard data and your average LL surgery patient is not an athlete to start with so the data may be hard to come by…
