? Don't understand: Not sure your exact question because of the phrasing... Do u mean how can u help prevent your arthroscopic meniscus repair from re- tearing?If you had an 'all-inside' meniscal repair( isolated; w/out acl reconstruction) then u have roughly a 80-90% chance of it healing. Some ors still keep pts.W/ men.Repairs partial weight bearing the first 4-6 wks.Avoid twisting maneuvers 1st 4-6 wks. Good luck!
