    I hope that its a quick one but from what they told me its looking like 6-9 months. Just depends on if they can save and repair it or remove it. The removal is a quick heal, the repair is months. I am bout to head down to Miami for my appt with the ortho surgeons and find out the details.

    It depends if they aim to repair the meniscus or they shave/remove part of it. Removing it is actually a quicker healing process like you say back drilling in a couple of weeks. Repair is a longer process and will take more time to heal. Down side to the removal is increased chance of de-generation in the future. I've got two bucket handle tears in my lateral meniscus but I am expecting a quick return.

    One of the peeps told me that the entire meniscus is displaced so I don't know if that means both lateral and medial or just one complete side. Find out soon tho. Freaking leg is swelled all the way to my foot lol

    Ok it's a bucket handle tear with half of it jammed into the center of the knee. Surgery will be jan 22nd. They plan to repair it if possible. It's gonna be more intensive than just a scope damn it. At least it's gonna get fixed tho
