Surgery for a meniscal tear is usually done arthroscopically, meaning that a small camera and another small tool are inserted into the knee. A surgeon is able to see inside the knee with the fiber optic camera. Surgery for a torn meniscus is typically a simple removal of the torn portion, keeping as much healthy meniscus intact and inside the knee as possible.<\/p><p>After surgery, physical therapy is very important, as is bracing and possible injections of healing substances. Usually therapy will start within a week after surgery and continue for 4-6 weeks, during which one or two visits with the therapist per week is usually adequate. Therapy is important to strength the muscles around the knee and to maintain the appropriate flexibility of the knee tissues. If your knee gets weak and stiff after a meniscal surgery, the surgery will not work to reduce pain. Rehabilitation after surgery is as important as the surgery itself.<\/p><p>Medications will include pain medicines and supplements devised to promote healing. It is important for overweight patients to lose weight to aid the healing process, as each extra pound above the waist is felt as 4-5 pounds by the knee. If the orthopedic surgeon selects a proper brace, the meniscus and cartilage can remain protected even during contact sports.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6accbda elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6accbda\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-61c19b6\" data-id=\"61c19b6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-1f991d8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1f991d8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5129719\" data-id=\"5129719\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7075401 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7075401\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/contact-us\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"148\" height=\"148\" src=\"https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Warner_148.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1977\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Warner_148.jpg 148w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Warner_148-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 148px) 100vw, 148px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2f337fc\" data-id=\"2f337fc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95de749 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"95de749\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Dr. Meredith Warner<\/strong> is a board certified, Fellowship Trained Foot and Ankle, Orthopedic surgeon practicing in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
