A member asked:
Is a sports knee brace recommended after meniscus surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Bracing after meniscus resection is not used. Bracing after meniscus repair is usually used for 4-6 weeks post operatively to limit flexion to 90 degrees while meniscus heals. After meniscus heals (about 6months), a functional brace for sports is not used.
