How long it takes to get off the crutches after meniscectomy is related to the healing process of the individual patient and the individual’s physical condition, and generally, it takes at least about 8 weeks. Meniscectomy surgery involves the arthroscopic removal of all diseased meniscus tissue. Before surgical management of the meniscus, arthroscopic examination must be performed to determine the location and extent of meniscus damage, etc. Depending on the damage, the damaged and damaged meniscus tissue that cannot be sutured is removed. The meniscus is a major weight-bearing area and heals slowly after removal, and it may take about 8 weeks for it to fully heal and play a role in bearing body weight, so after meniscectomy surgery, you usually need to wait about 8 weeks before you can take off your crutches and engage in weight-bearing activities. Each person’s physical condition is different, the speed of healing after surgery will be different, and the time to take off the crutches will also be different. After the surgery, you need to go through the ultrasound and CT examination of the knee joint to understand the healing condition, and consider whether you can take off the crutches under the guidance of the doctor.
