[QUOTE="DirtyMike, post: 186195, member: 229"] You're correct, recovery times are very different. I chose to have my repaired (medial meniscus; bucket handle tear) and was laid up for a good six weeks. But, being 17 and baseball starting, I didn't listen too well and started playing as soon as I could walk without crutches. The problem there being, I was the catcher. So things didn't stay repaired. I know have problems with it on a consistent basis. Flexed to much and that bucket handle tear will slide over and lock my knee out. So, if you choose that route, do your exercises and ice as much as possible. You will be forever thankful that you chose to have it repaired instead of removed. If removed, there isn't as much cushion for the tibial and femoral surfaces and arthritic changes will occur over time. That leads to a total knee replacement. I can't think of a worse time to have knee surgery though. Even if you wait until after hunting season, you have icy walkways to deal with. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
