Arthroscopic Knee Debridement Rehab Protocol

Keys to a Successful Outcome

• Use ice liberally for the first few days following surgery.

• Weight bearing is allowed and encouraged as early as it is comfortable

• When resting, the foot should be placed on a chair or ottoman so that the knee is straight.  Keeping it in a bent position when in a seated position will result in a flexion contracture.

*Running in pool or an Anti-Gravity treadmill is acceptable
