I’d use the leg press machine if you have access to one for a couple of weeks before squatting.

The bar.

The bar.

yep.. start with the bar and make sure you warm up quite a bit.. then gradually go higher

you should regain strength very fast since muscle memory is very real

Take it very slowly. You never want to risk further injury. Just remember that this is a long-term lifestyle.

Start with just body weight squats. Go slow and work your way back up.

It's not a race. Since you haven't squatted in a long time, it'll be almost like squatting for the first time again. You will need to relearn proper form
