Skise
Ski Diva Extraordinaire
Has anyone had their meniscus repaired? I'm wondering about recovery and what about skiing... I think this was the first repair this orthopedic surgeon did and perhaps the first one in the hospital also. The physiotherapist knew nothing and the surgeon took 2-3 hours to write me some advice for post op care: "use the orthosis for 4 weeks to keep the knee straight, full weightbearing allowed, weeks 4-6 only bend your knee max 90 degrees, no sports for 3 months" and that's it. No "sports" at all for 3 months and then I can overnight do anything I want? Interesting enough my friend had the exact opposite directions, she was allowed only partial weightbearing but was allowed to flex the knee immediately :D
