A member asked:

Is it ok to go to acl and meniscus reconstruction in winter or else?

Dr. Richard Popowitz answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Not ideal: If personal reasons preclude proceeding sooner, avoid any high impact activities or deep squatting. Waiting 4 months could make the meniscus irreparable and affect your long term outcome
