About this listen
This consensus statement outlines formal EU-US recommendations for rehabilitation after meniscus surgery. It addresses the lack of standardized post-operative care for meniscal procedures, which are among the most common surgeries worldwide. The consensus provides evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation protocols following meniscectomy, repair, and reconstruction, emphasizing criterion-based milestones over time-based progression for optimal recovery. This comprehensive document, developed by 67 experts from 14 countries, aims to unify rehabilitation strategies for surgeons, sports medicine doctors, and physiotherapists, despite acknowledging the overall low level of scientific evidence in current literature.
