How long does knee surgery take to heal?I'm having surgery on my right knee. I fractured my tibia plateau skiing last Friday. The fracture has completely separated and there's a hole where it used to be (found out with aCT scan). The surgeon wants to put pins and a plate in my knee to put everything back together, he said. No damage to the acl or mcl, patella, etc.
Any idea how long it will take to heal? I've never had this kind of surgery so I have no idea what to expect.

bones take 8wks to heal, tissues 6 wks;; no rushing it;; your rehab may take anywhere from 2-6 months dependent on your level of function;; considering you may want to get back to skiing, you would need more progressive rehab;; btw, getting pro help will make sure you do this properly & with decreased time;; if you try this on your own, "common sense" will not get you through it properly & within a reasonable time;; you don't want to risk re-injury, & the more you can learn, the better you'll be able to apply...good luck, doc may tell you 3-4 months...
