Brian,
 
I had to wait four week after my knee surgery.  I had a cartilage graph
place on the anterior portion of the Fibea.  I also had to watch how much
weight I place on the knee for a few months.  Be sure to ask your Physician
how long he thinks you should stay out of the water.  They want to mostly
guard against infection.  When you start diving again, use NOAA1 or NOAA2
and do many dives say around 60 ffw or salt water.  This three ATA is
incredible Hyperbaric treatment and with the profusion of O2, the knee heals
very quickly...swelling just disappears.
 
Good luck

   Would anyone know if a person would have to wait(and for how long)to go
diving after knee surgary. My knee sounds like a bowl of rice crispies when
I squat and sometimes walk on it.Doc. says I need to have the kneecap ground
and cartilage fixed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
