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
