A member asked:

I am getting arthroscopic knee surgery soon and was wondering if i can walk after infrapatella fat pad resection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be optimistic: In my experience, virtually all arthroscopic knee procedures by competent orthopedic surgeons have been highly successful. I doubt you will lose walking ability. Better question is how to best time and regain mobility post-operatively in the most efficient pattern.
