It is usually one week to three months after arthroscopic surgery before you can walk, depending on the specific procedure. For general arthroscopy or synovial debridement, local swelling and pain will decrease significantly about one week after surgery, and you can gradually walk on the ground at this time. In the case of arthroscopic meniscectomy or meniscal suturing, it will take more than six weeks after surgery to walk gradually. In the case of arthroscopic cruciate ligament reconstruction or internal fixation of fracture, it will take about three months after the surgery before you can walk. Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery with the advantages of less trauma and faster recovery, but the recovery time varies greatly depending on the form of surgery, and the recovery time varies with the severity of the same disease.
