How long you can walk after meniscal arthroscopy depends on the specific situation. If the meniscus is degenerative, the meniscus is trimmed by arthroscopy, and the patient can use crutches for appropriate activities three days after surgery. If the meniscus is partially torn, the meniscus suture surgery is performed, and it usually takes one month after surgery to get out of bed and walk properly.
