I had a meniscus repair in May 2006. I have had nothing but trouble. One of the pieces of the repair came loose and floated in my knee causing many problems. I just had my fourth surgery and was diagnosed with osteoarthritis. I used to be a soccer player till they told me I couldn't play anymore because of all my knee problems. I hope yours heals without problems or else you could be in for a long haul with knee problems. My current doc. said I will have to have knee operations in the future. Hope yours goes better than mine! Good Luck!

Hi everyone,

I've had my bucket handle meniscus tear repaired 4 weeks ago - it is healing well (I was told the tear was near the edge where there's some blood supply). The torn part was also stuck in the knee joint so my knee was locked for a while, now it is slowly coming down (therapy helped).

My question is, what are the chances of meniscus retearing especially if I decide to play soccer again later on? I've also had a partial ACL tear apparently, so I guess I'll need another surgery when this one heals


P.S. I do think that the artificial turf they use at indoor arenas contributed to my injury, as your foot sticks more to the ground, escpecially when wearing cleats.
