Meniscus How Soon After A Torn Meniscus Are You Back To Normal?

If your child has a repair, is a long journey. My daughter has had both knees repaired. After the surgery was not anywhere loaded 6 to 8 weeks. After this charge for several weeks and then partial weight-bearing was done.
After the operation was also a G11 knee bandage. His right knee was closed for 2 weeks, then adjusted so that they can bend the knee to 60 degrees, and then after 2 weeks at 90 degrees, etc., etc.
She also has a physical therapy all the time.
He was off work for 3-4 months.
The knee was first performed 10 years ago. It has healed well and is like new.
But not the last operation, performed by 1 1 / 2 years old, healed, and she will receive the meniscus removed.
We were told at the start of the operation was a show of 50/50 at. To remove an option that is in an area where it should provide a blood test. The meniscus has started a very limited amount of blood, so many repairs are not.
However, if the meniscus is removed, it is aeasy surgery and recovery is short. The problems are long-term withdrawal. Our doctor has assured, osteo-arthiritis after the withdrawal of my daughters.
My husband had withdrawn all his meniscus in his youth. He now has severe arthritis and need a knee replacement.
Yes, I broke the medial meniscus, his left leg and surgery. He has been receiving physical therapy for about a month after that, maybe a month and a half. You can after the operation, not good for walking, but also the other leg and then they want to go so far as it used again, therefore, go to therapy. It was easy to guess and what? I think it may be the same, on the other leg, because it's very swollen around the knee and painful. I Hopew again. Good luck with your son about it.
Just to .. normal varies from person to person, and surgery of the operation. With my first surgery, I took about 4-5 weeks to increase the crutches and being able to go another 3 weeks. In meinem 2 Surgery, I took about 3-4 weeks to return to work, and was the ultimate answer to work back to work after 12 days, and able, quite after about 4 weeks without a limp or something like that. Just say no stress, and easier if you do not want to damage the knee again.
It takes a good 6-8 months time to return the sport in good condition. Your child will be to make a few more months of physical therapy, but it will try to heal faster.Just to hear the advice of your doctor.
