If you have elected to move forward with meniscus repair surgery you are likely concerned about your recovery.   Recovery from meniscus repair surgery will depend to a large degree on the individual patient. The extent of the tear also plays a role in how quickly a person will recover.   The larger the tear, the larger the incision the surgeon will make, requiring more time to heal.

The surgical repair of the meniscus will include an incision to the knee, the opening of the knee and then the actual repair.  Many surgeons now perform the surgery with an arthroscope which is a small tube containing a camera and light which allows them to make the repair while keeping the size of the incision significantly smaller than before.  To repair the tear, a surgeon will use anchors or sutures.
