How long takes a bucket handle medial tear to heal after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically 4-6 weeks: After the surgery procedure it typically takes 4-6 weeks of rehab to get back to activities you will have to gradually decrease your swelling, increase you motion, strength and endurance i have patients who have this done who go back to office after the weekend (3-4 days).
