Disk meniscus arthroscopy usually takes about 3 months to recover from the surgery, and the time to full recovery depends on the degree of injury and the physical condition of the individual.
A normal meniscus is crescent shaped, while a discoid meniscus is usually larger and more susceptible to injury. Surgery for a discoid meniscus usually consists of a complete meniscectomy, menioplasty, and meniscal suture, and recovery can be expected to be complete in about 3 months after the meniscus is injured, although strenuous exercise should be avoided in order to avoid re-injury.
The recovery time for discoid meniscus arthroscopy is variable and requires attention to the protection of the meniscus, cleanliness and care of the wound site, avoidance of infection, and regular follow-ups.
