It wouldn't surprise me if some medical hot-shot kid 3D prints up an artificial meniscus. Might be better than a used one.

Sorry to hear that Mickey! Hopefully, you can be back in the saddle by the time the rally rolls around in Sept.

Mickey
So sorry you’re having knee issues.
Hope you can get in to see your doctor first thing tomorrow for script for pain relief. I had left meniscus removed in 77 with a open incision and right knee with arthroscopic in 84 and arthroscopic has a much faster recovery and less residual surgical pain
Hope to see you in WVA in Sept

Bummer, ferret. I agree with LongRanger, if the repairs can be done arthroscopically, the recovery time might not be too long. I had knee surgery for a torn ACL and torn meniscus. The meniscus wasn't the problem for recovery: it was the section of my patella tendon that they took as donor ligament. That took a lot of rehab and time. To this day my patella tendon is tender and never quite feels right.
