Confirm with surgeon: Definitely ask your surgeon as they will k ow best with regards to your particular case and be able to take into account any specific variables that may cause increased concern. Most knee scope patients can safely travel within several days from surgery as many of my patients fly in for shoulder, knee and hip surgery on a Sunday for surgery on Mon or Tue and head home by plane before week’s end.
