meniscectomy and microfracture anybody had it?
Discussion
Had arthroscopy/meniscectomy for a bucket handle tear in my left knee in Nov 2020. Walked out of the hospital on crutches the same day as the op, down to one crutch within a few days. Some physio and following their advice I d say I was fully mobile again within 4-6 weeks.
Still get the odd twinge and haven t been able to play squash since but otherwise pretty good.
Right knee now needs the same - just wading through the NHS system

I tore my meniscus during Covid and had keyhole surgery to sort it, was in and out same day.
Had the surgery in November, by end of January I was cleared to go back to all activities I was doing before the injury. My Taekwondo instructors were a bit more cautious than my surgeon and insisted on a signed GP letter before they let me back, so it was another month or so before I started back training.
I still get the odd twinge, sometimes the surgery site becomes a bit painful for no reason, but is usually completely fine the next day.
