    Carefully choose your surgeon

    Orthopedic surgeons perform meniscus surgery. Even though it is a popular operation, you must choose a doctor with the appropriate training and experience. Inquire about the doctor’s previous patients, as well as those of friends and relatives. Seek doctors who have received board certification from the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery.

    Talk about the medications you are taking

    Inform your doctor if you are currently using any medicine. Some of these might put you at greater risk for complications during surgery. Before the operation, your doctor will advise you whether you need to stop taking any of them and how soon.

    Ask your doctor whether you should stop taking blood thinners, such as aspirin, before surgery. You must fully comprehend the instructions provided by your physician—the risk of bleeding increases while using certain medications.

    Get the proper diagnosis

    It is possible to perform a variety of meniscus surgeries, each suited to a particular tear type. Sometimes, the meniscus will mend on its own, and surgery is not required. An accurate diagnosis is essential to determining the best course of therapy. A doctor’s visit is often the first step in this procedure. You may need further imaging tests such as X-rays, MRIs, and other similar techniques. There is a specific form of meniscus damage that will be diagnosed. They will be able to determine precisely where it is.

    Ask questions

    Inquire with your surgeon about the specific sort of meniscus tear you have. Check to see if there are any other options for fixing the problem. Take the time to comprehend the surgeon’s advice fully. Before the procedure, inquire about any pre-op preparations. Ascertain the specifics of what to expect on the day of the operation. Ask about the rehabilitation procedure. Before you meet with the surgeon, jot down any questions about the surgery. Take notes on the surgeon’s responses so that you do not have to depend on recalling them afterward.

    Talk about your advance care plan

    You should ensure that your doctor and the facility have a copy of your advance care planning document. Make one if you don’t already have one. Let other people know what you want in terms of health care.

    Your surgeon will most likely wrap and brace your knee after surgery to safeguard it. Most individuals use crutches for a month to a few weeks following an injury. To help your body heal, get lots of sleep. Keep your knee elevated and ice it as prescribed by your doctor. To restore the use of your knee, you will need to undergo rehabilitation. So, if your surgeon recommends it, make an appointment with a physical therapist.
