Torn Meniscus (cont.)

Medical Author:
Medical Editor:

What are recommended exercises once a torn meniscus has been repaired?

Rehabilitation after an operation depends upon the individual patient and the response to surgery. Specific recommendations regarding weight-bearing and exercises will be customized for the patient by the surgeon and therapist.

Usually the goal is to return the knee to normal function within four to six weeks.
