How long ACL and meniscus tear surgery takes to recover completely? How much time after the surgery can walking be started? And how long will it take to be normal like before?

Hello. The recovery depends on the actual treatment of meniscal tear. If your meniscus is being repaired along with ACL-R, you can walk normally roughly by 6 to 8 weeks depending on the repair done. If the surgeon decides to do Meniscectomy (trimming the torn portion of meniscus) you’ll walk normally by 3 to 4 weeks - with the help of proper rehab
