How long until i can do high impact sports again after having microfracture surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3-6 months generally: Most surgeons will not allow you to return to high impact sports until closer to 6 months after microfracture surgery. Each case, however, is different with regards to location, size and injury severity. These important factors are also taken in to account when deciding what is actually best for your specific knee.
