How Long Does It Take To Recover From Knee Surgery?

I recently had surgery on my right knee, I had a displaced tibial plateau fracture and a tear in my meniscus. I had two screws put in and I m almost six weeks out of surgery. I m a gymnast and thats how I injured myself. I would really like to go back and my doctor says I will be able too. I started physical therapy. I m still on crutches with little weight baring onto my leg. I want to know how long my recovery will be until I ll be able to go back to gymnastics doing what I used to be able to do and what I can do to help my recovery. Any other useful information would be great! Thank you.

Hello,

I have studied your case history.

For intra articular fracture to unite it will take around three months time from date of operation.
You will need X ray of bone where implant is placed.
You can also send x ray photo on my profile.

You need to increase weight bearing gradually.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
