FAQs

Is repair or trimming better?

Repair is preferred when possible because it preserves the natural meniscus, but trimming is used when the tear cannot be repaired.

How long is the recovery?
  • Repair: typically 2–3 months

  • Trimming: faster recovery, often 3–6 weeks

Will I need physiotherapy?

Yes — rehab is crucial to restore knee strength and mobility.

Can I return to sports?

Most patients return to sports after healing and completing physiotherapy.
Timeline depends on the type of tear and procedure performed.

Is the surgery painful?
