You might want to look at what they call an injured Knee scooter. Kind of looks like an elevated skateboard. Saw a # of folks using them last week a D world. Seems like the were able to move at a pretty good clip, and for distance as well.
Would also add they are probably waiting for the swelling to go down before they MR. Even if the soft tissue is ripped torn and shredded, he may not necessarily need surgery, until after vacation. His knee maybe sore, but with a scooter, or even without he may get along just fine. But a bit slowly. ( knee surgeries are usually not 911, and waiting a bit, does not make a big difference as far as outcome)
Knees are not my primary gig, backs are. But in general the above maybe true. My advise depending on what the MR shows talk to the Doc, see what he thinks and the options are.
Hopefully then the worries about limited mobility then becomes a non issue
