A member asked:
What is the typical recovery time for a rt leg meniscal repair (partial meniscectomy) and mcl reconstruction. how long in 0 brace & how long to drive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: When a ligament is reconstructed, the rehab time is longer because the repair needs to be protected. Rehab time depends on your age and level of fitness prior to surgery, and also on your surgeon and the type of reconstruction. I would say no driving for at least 6 weeks. Early rom in a brace is generally encouraged.
