A member asked:
I'm having micro fracture knee surgery on my right knee. is it possible to be cleared to drive before i'm weight bearing? i have to drive to school.

No: Driving requires leg, arm and mental performance. Braking requires weight bearing. Depending on your response to anesthesia or your pain levels you may not be a fit driver for weeks. A sleepy driver is a bad driver (reflexes slowed). Check with your surgeon for clearance.
