How long after a knee arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) before you can go on a long journey by car as a passenger?

1 week: After your sutures are removed in a week or so postoperatively you can travel. Take an Aspirin a day and take frequent breaks to walk around to prevent deep vein thrombosis or a blood clot in your legs.
