Meniscus repair
Freak things can always happen and every activity carries risk. Biggest concern up until the 14 week mark is trying to avoid a loaded rotational moment at the knee (twisting while leg is planted) - really not likely to happen but just limits some exercises you can do in PT. I’ve had one re-tear... -
Meniscus repair
Oof. Missed you mentioning it was a radial root. Sorry man. 6 weeks non-weight bearing no exceptions and less aggressive ROM. Meniscus has poor blood supply and perfusion hence the precautions.

Poll: How Many Times Have You Been Tested For COVID?
More than 15. I work as a PT in a skilled nursing facility where we're tested 3x a week (2 rapids and 1 lab test). Had an outbreak impacting 1/6 residents back in late November. It's been rough. -
Youth knee issue
It may be worth considering have your child go see a physical therapist. Iowa is direct access so no doctor's referral is needed. With no radiographic evidence of an issue, it sounds biomechanical/musculoskeletal in nature which is where a PTs expertise area lies. Without getting more history... -
