Unfortunately for me, I have had meniscus surgery done more than once, and on both knees at different times. It was indeed very different 30 yrs ago. So much better now. I was blue-collar worker at the time, so I was lifting, bending, carrying, and so on, so my doctors have all advised longer healing/rebuilding time than if I were an office worker.
I can add that my best experience was my most recent, and I believe it was specifically the doctor’s skill set that made it so. Any ortho can do this surgery of course, but for my most recent one I specifically searched for one that focused on sports injuries. I got a doc that is team doc for a nearby pro sports team. My thought was that this guy knows knees, and it did prove to be the right choice for me.
