They found some articular damage when i had my partial meniscectomy 2 weeks ago. how will this affect my recovery and running in the future?

Can't predict: It's impossible to predict. We know that a partial menisectomy changes joint stresses on the knee placing more stress on the articular cartilage. You may develop arthritis, but it's impossible to predict if you will develop symptoms from the arthritis. Without knowing how large the meniscal defect is, it's hard to tell the amount of contact stress is increased on the articular surface.

Slows recovery: Meniscus tears resolve quickly after partial meniscectomy. The finding of cartilage damage puts a cloud over your recovery and ability to return to running. It will definitely slow it up to 6 weeks. The grade, location and size of the area of cartilage damage will ultimately come ino play. Articular damage often has no effect. Remain positive do physical therapy and listen to doc.
