How long can you walk after meniscus suture?


Committed to your health journey.
After meniscal suture, partial weight-bearing walking can be attempted in 6 - 8 weeks. The specific time needs to be analyzed according to the healing process of meniscal suture, the influence of individual differences, the importance of rehabilitation training, regular review and evaluation, etc. 1. The healing process of meniscal suture The blood supply of meniscus itself is relatively poor, and healing needs a certain time. Early postoperative braking is needed to facilitate the stability and healing of the suture site. 2. Individual differences affect the physical condition, age, and rehabilitation progress of different patients. Young and healthy patients may recover relatively quickly, while older patients or patients with other underlying diseases may recover slowly. 3. The importance of rehabilitation training After surgery, standardized rehabilitation training is essential to restore joint function and promote healing. Through gradual training, muscle strength around joints can be enhanced, joint stability can be improved, and conditions for gradually starting walking can be created. 4. Regular review and evaluation The doctor will determine the specific time to start walking according to the patient's recovery. Early weight-bearing walking may lead to suture failure, too late may affect the rehabilitation process. The walking time after meniscal suture cannot be generalized. Patients should strictly follow the doctor's guidance and actively cooperate with rehabilitation training to achieve the best rehabilitation effect. At the same time, during the rehabilitation process, attention should be paid to whether there is pain, swelling and other abnormalities. If there is any abnormality, seek medical attention in time.
