BTS, a part of the Departmentâs Research and Innovative Technology Administration, in a release of preliminary data, reported that U.S. airlines carried 0.6 percent more domestic passengers in 2012 and 2.0 percent more international passengers than in 2011 for a systemwide increase of 0.8 percent.
The meniscus tear recovery time without surgery is about 6 weeks and the meniscus tear recovery time after surgery is somewhere between 1 and 3 mounths. Also, a recent study shows that after 1 year there is no significant diference between surgery and physical therapy.
Over the past few years a lot of research has focused on the healing potential of certain tears we once thought would not heal. We know that the peripheral 1/3 of a meniscus has a blood supply adequate enough to bring healing nutrients to the area of the tear. Therefore, it was always assumed that only tears within the outer 1/3 of a meniscus would heal once they were sutured or stitched back together.
