How long can you walk normally after arthroscopy?

How long it takes to walk normally after arthroscopy depends on many factors, such as the surgical site, the type of surgery, and the individual's recovery. Usually, patients can start walking normally 1 to 4 weeks after surgery, but it may take weeks or even months to fully return to normal walking.

1. The

surgical recovery time varies according to the surgical site. For example, arthroscopic knee surgery may take longer to restore normal walking function than other areas. Because the knee joint bears most of the body weight, careful weight bearing is required in the early recovery.

2.

Simple joint debridement may recover faster, while more complex surgery involving ligament repair and reconstruction may take longer to recover. Complicated surgery has a greater impact on joint stability and function, requiring longer healing and rehabilitation

training.3. Individual recovery Each

person's physical condition, age, basic health status, etc. are different, which will significantly affect the speed of recovery after surgery. Younger patients with better physical fitness usually recover faster, while older patients with weak or other diseases may recover slower.
