A member asked:
If i decide to have surgery on my meniscus will i be in an immobilizer brace? how long until i can drive if it's on my right knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends on your: Orthopod, who'll base his decision on the operative findings ; what he had to do for it. Check with him re: driving. I don't allow my patients to drive for 6 weeks or till the strength in knee muscles is optimum. Good luck ; happy holidays.
