Depends: 3 to 6 months depending on rehab. Surgery center fees are about 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of the hospital depending on insurance contracts. Talk with your surgeon for more details.

Depends: This depends if the tear can be repaired (longer recovery with some early restrictions) or not (shorter recovery with no restrictions). Recovery should be 4-12 weeks. The surgeon you choose is more important than the facility.
