Running post keyhole knee surgery (cartilage trim)
![[Deleted User]](https://w4.vanillicon.com/4899645f71c15e881e3041d2ea650112_100.png)
Had this yesterday following an MRI scan that revealed:
An osteochondral lesion in the lateral femoral condyle and cartilage damage, a horizontal tear of the body of the medial meniscus, intra-articular loose bodies, a medial poplitial cyst and patella-femoral degeneration!
Have follow-up with consultant on Wed dreading that he's going to tell me I should never run again.
Has anyone else had this procedure? What were you advised and what did you
Thanks in advance. Appreicate any input from running medics out there... And yes of course I'll take the consultant's advice too.

...it's not the running that's the issue it's how you run - the distance, pace, duration, what's on your plate of meat, pelvic control etc etc.
Get good advise from someone who can understand the "why you've got" rather than from a "what you've got" - functionalist versus a structuralist
Don't bin your kicks, yet!
I know mine was because of a twist to my knee, consultant had no problem with me running after this procedure - first time he hasn’t as I’ve multiple open surgeries on my other knee which is pinned and had needed replacement for the last 4 years as no cartilage left (won’t replace due to my age).
He acknowledges now my knees are ‘better’ when I run.
Listen to your dr and physio though
Fingers crossed for you!
