How long after meniscus surgery can I walk?

I am a 34 year old female. I want to know how long after meniscus surgery can I walk?

It depends on if you had a meniscus repair or partial excision of a tear. If you had a partial excision you can weight bear or walk as tolerated. A repair would keep you not walking on it for 4-6 weeks. Confirm with your surgeon at your next post-op appointment.

Good luck,
