  • Can you bend knee after meniscus repair?

    That depends on the type, location, and quality of repair. As well as your surgeon's preference. Given the biomechanics of a knee and the shear force on a posterior meniscus with knee flexion I typically limit flexion 0-90 for 4-6 week after a meniscus repair. After that I encourage ongoing PT to regain as much motion (hopefully full) after this protective phase. The ultimate goal is after that regain as much motion as possible and return to as many activities as possible with resolution of your pre operative pain and symptoms. READ MORE

  • How do I stop my knees from cracking?

    If the popping is not painful it may simply be your body releasing gasseous byproducts of metabolism and there is nothing to do in most cases. Painful popping can be investigated if desired. READ MORE

  • How long does it take to recover from torn meniscus surgery?

    That very much depends on the procedure performed. If you and your physician opt to perform a partial menisectomy (taking out the tear), you're waiting on pain, swelling, inflammation to calm down but do not need much more than the skin to heal as you have simply taken out the painful pathology. My patients with this surgery weight bear immediately, use crutches for a day or two, and ideally are resuming all activities by 4 weeks, but some are much sooner. With a meniscal repair, it is a much different story. There is brace wear, altered weight bearing and limitations on motion. Total recovery on meniscal repair may be on the order of 3-6 months. This depends on the type and location of the tear as well as the bloodflow to the meniscus and the quality of the surrounding joint. Good luck! READ MORE
