Traumatic meniscal tears, especially in young and middleaged populations, are one of the most common intra-articular problems. In recent years, the repair of these tears has been understood to have clinical implications for the survival of joint cartilage. All the different surgical techniques applied to isolated meniscal tears are an integral part of postoperative rehabilitation therapy. Definitive rehabilitation protocols which should be applied to the patient groups are still undescribed. While some authors are suggesting more conventional protocols restricted by movement and load transfer, others suggest accelerated protocols. In the recent literature, accelerated protocols are frequently discussed. These studies have also reported satisfactory clinical outcomes about accelerated rehabilitation programs. In this review, rehabilitation programs after the repair of isolated meniscus tears are covered as main topics. The clinical outcomes of different rehabilitation protocols and the effects on treatment failures were evaluated by comparative studies.
