norbertflyer Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I've been told I need a keyhole op to trim the right medial meniscus, following MRI results. Just wondering if this will be a lengthy recuperation period for being able to run with a 38kg weight on my back. I need to plan when to take the op so that it doesn't interfere with the annual Snowboarding trip (as yet unbooked) and minimise air downtime. I've been told 1 week to 3 months, depending upon which advice to believe. Docs will only say 'no driving for two weeks' at this stage. Anyone any experience of this procedure? thanks in advance, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer_Dave Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hi Richard Dont know much about this myself, but, send lukebanks1 a pm. He would be well placed to inform you, I believe. Hope this helps and hope Luke doesn't mind my saying. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hi, I've had ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction on both knees following injury and had medial meniscus tears trimmed at the same time and this was a good 9 months or so before I could go back to full activities without concern. Having said that the length of recovery was due to the acl graft settling in so I would say a mesicus tear op should settle well within a couple of months if not sooner, as long as you stick religiously to your physio exercises!! Good luck with it, I know what you're going through! Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
