How long is the recovery time for a plika excision?



I am getting a plika removed, and I was wondering how long the recovery would take. I'll ask my orthopedist as soon as I can, but I won't see him for a couple weeks.

  1. Google plica for more info. NOT plika. If you are the girl in the pink ballet shoes. you know even if the original problem was a trauma , this can become a chronic repetetive motion problem. There will likely be lots of physical therapy. and even then, that knee will never be the same, and if it’s your lead foot , you are in for ongoing problems.Weakness , more easily re-injured , more and longer rehab if you do aggravate it any way.You need to consult a Sports Medicine Doc, or even someone who treats dancers if you are in a major city.The surgery is important , but a rehab tailored just for you will be just as crucial.Good luck.
