How long does swelling last after surgery to meniscus?
How long do you have to wait to play sports after having arthroscopic knee surgery to repair a small tear in your meniscus?
I had surgery because I tore my acl, mcl, and my meniscus. It has been about two months now and I am hoping to play golf soon. I have been told you can play golf after two months. Running begins at 4 months post-op. If rehab goals are met, sports are allowed 6 months after surgery, however you will need clearance from your doctor prior to resuming sports.

What are Coxcomb injections for a meniscus bursa condition?
My husband tore the meniscus in both knees. He had surgery on one, then instead of having surgery on the second hisDoctor suggested the coxcomb injections. This was about 18 months ago, and he has been virtually pain free since. In fact the knee without the surgery has done better. We were told that it may or may not help, but decided it was worth trying. He has been on of the lucky ones if has worked well for. I do know that if the pain returns you can have the injections once of year.

Meniscal allograft transplantation?
Alternative NamesMeniscus transplantDefinitionMeniscal allograft transplantation is a type of surgery in which a new meniscus, a cartilage ring in the knee, is placed into your knee. The new meniscus is taken from a person who has died (cadaver).DescriptionThere are two cartilage rings in the center of each knee, one on the inside (medial meniscus) and one on the outside (lateral meniscus). When a meniscus is torn, it is commonly removed by knee arthroscopy. However, some people can still have pain after the meniscus is removed, or several years after the meniscus is removed.A meniscus transplant places a new meniscus in your knee where the meniscus is missing. This procedure is only done in cases of meniscus tears that are so severe that all or nearly all of the meniscus cartilage has to be removed. The new meniscus can help knee pain and possibly prevent future arthritis. The new meniscus is tissue taken from a cadaver (allograft).If your doctor finds that you are a good candidate for a meniscus transplant, x-rays of your knee are usually taken to find a meniscus that will fit your knee. The allograft is tested in the lab for possible diseases.Other surgeries, such as ligament or cartilage repairs, may be performed at the time of the meniscus transplantation or with a separate surgery.The meniscus transplant is usually performed by knee arthroscopy. You will likely be asleep during the surgery. When arthroscopy is performed, a camera is inserted into your knee through a small poke hole, and is connected to a video monitor. First, the surgeon will check the cartilage and ligaments of your knee. Then the surgeon will confirm that a meniscus transplant is appropriate, and that you don't have severe arthritis of the knee.The new meniscus will be prepared to fit your knee correctly. If any tissue remains from your old meniscus, it will be removed using a shaver or other instruments. An incision is made in the front of your knee to insert the new meniscus into the knee. Sutures are used to sew the new meniscus in place. Another incision may be needed to sew the meniscus in place. Screws or other devices may be used to hold the meniscus in place.After the surgery is finished, the incisions are closed, and a dressing is applied. During the arthroscopy, most surgeons take pictures of the procedure from the video monitor to show you what was found and what was done.Why the Procedure Is PerformedMeniscus allograft transplantation may be recommended for knee problems such as:Knee painUnstable kneeKnee that gives wayInability to play sports or other activitiesRisksThe risks for any anesthesia are:Allergic reactions to medicationsProblems breathingThe risks for any surgery are:BleedingInfectionNerve damageAdditional risks include:Stiffness of the kneeFailure of the surgery to relieve symptomsFailure of the meniscus to healTear of the new meniscusDisease transmission from the cadaver's meniscusPain in the kneeWeakness of the kneeAfter the ProcedureMeniscus allograft transplantation is difficult surgery. However, in people who are missing the meniscus and have pain, it can be very successful. Most people have less knee pain after meniscal allograft transplantation.Outlook (Prognosis)After the surgery, you will probably wear a knee brace for the first 1 to 6 weeks. You also may need crutches for 1 to 6 weeks to prevent putting full weight on your knee. Most people can move the knee immediately after surgery to help prevent any stiffness. Pain is usually managed with medications.Physical therapy may help you regain the motion and strength of your knee. Therapy lasts for between 4 and 6 months.How soon you can return to work will depend on your job, but it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Most people have to wait between 6 months and 1 year to fully return to activities and sports.ReferencesPacker JD, Rodeo SA. Meniscal allograft transplantation. Clin Sports Med.

Can lifelong damage happen if you walk 3 months on a flipped meniscus and torn acl?
There is always a risk that you may injure them further but the chances that you will do anything affecting long term outcome is low. It is perfectly reasonable to delay surgery and see if you do not heal to a tolerable level.
If your swimming pool is drained for 3 or more months does the plaster undergo damage?

Why your one foot is swollen for five months and it not even hurt but it does not fit into your summer shoes?
Five months is far too long for your foot to remain swollen. You need to see a doctor to find out what is causing the problem.
Having surgery soon for acl tear lcl instability plc instabilty meniscus tears and osteochondrial lesions need help to understand?
What do you need to understand? Surgery is surgery. I've torn both of my ACL's and I have surgery for each of them. Mentally prepare youself. I don't know what you are going to have done for a procedure, but if it's a hamstring graft for the ACL, they take some of your hamstring and create a graft. They then drill into the bone on the tibia and femur. They pass the graft through the knee and attach it to both ends. It is sutured and screwed in place with sutures and titanium screws and small plates (I think). If you have a bad meniscus tear, they might have to remove it; but sometimes they can stitch it back up agian. If that holds it will take around 6 months to heal completely (just for the meniscus). ACL recovery is about 6 months, yet it varies for everyone, and it depends on your doctor. I'm assuming osteochondrial lesions are bone lesions. I have no experience with that or LCL and PCL instablities, but I am assuming they will remove the bone lesions. For the LCL/PCL, I don't know. Sorry. Hope this helps.
