Whether you can play basketball after meniscus surgery depends on the degree of recovery of the patient, but it is generally recommended not to play basketball and other strenuous activities. Meniscus surgery is generally due to traumatic injuries caused by meniscus damage or osteoarthritis caused by meniscus deformation, meniscus repair or excision, but due to the poor blood supply of the meniscus, the recovery time is longer, it is generally recommended that the patient rest, avoid weight bearing knee joints, avoid strenuous exercise. Some patients with poor meniscus recovery playing basketball may aggravate the original injury or strenuous exercise caused by the meniscus secondary injury, in addition to basketball and other strenuous activities will also accelerate the wear and tear of the knee cartilage, accelerate the degeneration of the knee joint. Therefore, meniscus surgery patients are generally not recommended to play basketball and other strenuous activities. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital regularly for review and treatment if necessary.
