Summary:Rehabilitation after meniscal repair should enhance meniscal healing and facilitate an early return to normal knee function. Traditional approaches differ in immobilization and weight bearing but prevent early motion. More recently accelerated protocols begin motion early. There is a need for prospective comparative clinical studies to evaluate these methods as well for basic science research to assess the effects of immobilization, weight bearing, and range of motion on meniscal healing. The authors have adopted a middle-of-the-road approach, which includes components from various protocols.
