Meniscus: Usually 2 weeks off work if it is trimmed, light activity for 2 weeks, -then full activity as tolerated. If the meniscus has a repair, usually 6 weeks total.

Varies: Recover time will vary depending on many factors including age, general health of the patient, infection control, blood sugar control, the exact type of procedure, and post-operative and follow up care. Discuss it with your surgeon and get their opinion as to what they feel is a reasonable recovery time for you.
