Hi there. I had a full meniscal allograft transplant 4 weeks ago and was wondering if anyone has any insight into the recovery process / advice they can share. A bit of back history - 6 years ago I had a bad skiing accident - displaced tibial plateau fracture, snapped ACL, stretched MCL, torn meniscus and cartilage. The bone is now sound, plates removed, ACL has been reconstructed [though is apparently now a little lax]. Im a 36yo female, so deemed too young for a knee replacement, hence surgery number 5 being the transplant. Currently in a leg brace, 60 degrees flexion and 50% weight bearing. Have another 2 weeks in the brace @ 90 degrees. Unsurprisingly I have massive muscle atrophy on left leg, but conscious squatting probably not an option any time soon. Advice please!
Thanks,
Sarah
Are they planning to send you through PT after you get out of the brace?
