No. Repair will fail. Strict bed rest or non weight bearing walking for 4-6 weeks is reccomended depending on type and site of repair. Share details.

If the meniscus is repaired then u can move ur knee,  but cannot put weight on the leg,  u can walk with one leg,  this is for 3-4 weeks. Then after 4weeks full weight can be given If meniscus is removed then u can start walking from next day, and all the exercises can be done
