A member asked:
I'm curious as to how long is the recovery period for a knee arthroscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time for recovery: Recovery period following knee arthroscopy will vary from patient to patient and from procedure to procedure. A removal of loose body may have a relatively quick recovery whereas an arthroscopically assisted acl reconstruction will require 4-6 months. For a meniscal repair a much longer period of recovery than a meniscectomy.
