A member asked:
Is it beneficial to wear a knee neoprene sleeve after surgery and for how long. it is now 2 weeks since i had knee arthroscopic surgery. thank you.?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Is not: Neoprene sleeve may help with postop swelling following the immediate post-op time.After two weeks is not necessary to wear any external immobilization specially after simple arthroscopy.You should concentrate in rehabilitation of the knee with proper exercise program directed by your surgeon.

It can be beneficial: But you don't necessarily need to wear one. It may help to keep your knee from giving out as it can increase your proprioception until your quadriceps is strong enough.
