Naz Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Last week I had MicroFracture surgery done on my right knee. Anyone have any experience with this procedure, and if so, how long before you were back on the ice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullright Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 How the heck did you break it? Puck get past your pad and knee pad? Anyway, you'll recover just fine and will play again. Let it heal completely before you begin rehab; there isn't much blood flow to the area so follow your dr's orders closely. Biggest thing short term will be your thigh and calf atrophy while the fracture mends. Longer term - don't know your age - is arthritis but take care of yourself, listen to your dr, and you'll play fine again. One good thing is that the fracture and hardware shouldn't affect your knee joint's function. Get better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Thanks @Fullright ! The Dr did it to replace the cartilage that was shredded into many many pieces. I have done some reading on it, and some note 6 - 9 months before resuming athletics. I'm 46, and so far no signs of arthritis thank goodness. I definitely plan on following instructions, no male stubborness haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had previous knee surgeries, but this time the atrophy is unreal, especially my calf. Also the hamstring of the affected leg has tightened up considerably. One month post surgery and slowly doing rehab. Probably August before I am back on the ice, posssssibly Mid-July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck with the rehab and recovery; here’s hoping you’re fully healed and ready to go on schedule! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
