Meniscectomy: home essentials

Ice and early gentle walking are the focus.

Home essentials

  • Crutches or a cane if you are limping or prescribed protected weight-bearing
  • Ice packs and a plan to elevate the leg after activity
  • Compression sleeve if your surgeon allows
  • Slip-on shoes to avoid deep twisting while dressing

Before surgery

  • Confirm you are WBAT vs any brief crutch period
  • Clear clutter for safe short walks the evening of surgery if outpatient
  • Stock ice and easy protein-rich meals
  • Arrange a ride: Do not drive yourself home after anesthesia

Remember

  • Calf pain, chest pain, or fever with wound redness: contact your team
  • Meniscectomy is not meniscus repair. Confirm repair vs meniscectomy as Weight Bearing rules vary.
