I've had both done. In both cases the meniscus was so bad there was no option, but removal.

My rehab was aquatic workout, constant stretching and manipulation of the patella and all muscles around the knee. After four weeks of that, up on land with some hardcore stretching, passive resistence exercises and some serious stimulation (electronic) along with some forced PT-aided bending and stretching.

Two months later, I was done. Just because the surgeon and PT say you are ready to go, doesn't mean you jump right back into the game. Take your time, continue the stretching, wear some sort of knee support, but not so tight the patella cannot move freely.

Good luck.
