Saw the consultant today. Why do they cause you more pain.Both knees have torn meniscus cartilage, and need an op, break leg, cut a wedge of bone out.
Waiting list is 52 weeks !! A year of more pain !!

Hi Dave, 

I would see a different consultant.  The majority of menisectomy's are done keyhole these days, whereby they only trim the meniscus.  Even for an "open" menisectomy where the procedure in not carried out through keyhole surgery they do not actually break the leg, (as in fracture it) they, they will make the incision, and either trim or remove the meniscus that way.  As the operation is an "open" procedure, recovery times are longer.  

so you should be able to do light duties after 1 week, and fully mobile within 4 weeks. 

On a lighter note, congrats on your great news, kids over a certain age will always do it their way as they know best !!......I am sure we did !!   

It's tough bringing kids up, but as long you are there for them that's all that matters.  The great thing about being a grand-dad is that you can give them back!!

Hi Smokewood

I have had that twice and they are both torn. The breaking of the leg is Tibial Ostectom, http://www.kneesociety.org/web/patienteducation_osteo.html

 

[smokewood]

Got You Osprey, You are opting for the whole shooting match with a Tibial Osteotomy.  It's going to be a long haul on recovery, and please don't overdo it post op and try to rush the recovery phase, otherwise  you will do more damage in the long run.  

It is always worth leaving a message with the surgeon (or their secretary) and let them know that you are prepared to undergo surgery at short notice if there is a cancellation, by doing that you can sometimes have your surgery earlier.  

That;s my mother hen bit over.

Best Wishes
