A member asked:
How long did you have to avoid driving after meniscus surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If surgery is on the left leg i let some patients drive the next day if they feel ok. If the surgery is on the right leg i change to dressing in 48 hrs and may let them drive short distances based on their motion and amount of swelling present.
