A torn meniscus is a common knee injury. A ThedaCare Orthopedic surgeon shows us the arthroscopic procedure done to repair the meniscus tear.
The rate of recovery for this type of surgery is pretty typical. After surgery, patients come in after a 10-day period to have their stitches removed. By this time, they're 80 percent better and can get around with ease. Patients may still have some mild swelling, though, but it's minor. Then after four to six weeks, recovery is usually complete and they can return to whatever physical activities they wish.
