A member asked:
What to do if i have surgery for tears involving both medial and lateral meniscus and a baker's cyst?

Not sure about the..: question, but I assume you are asking about the surgery and recovery. Surgery is typically knee arthroscopy through two poke holes on either side of the kneecap. It is an outpatient procedure and you can typically bear full weight immediately after surgery. The surgery removes the torn portions of meniscus and decompressed the cyst. Your recovery is typically 3 to 4 weeks.
