This is how long 8 in 10 patients wait for the whole Trauma & Orthopaedics specialty at this trust, from GP referral to the start of treatment — the NHS does not publish a wait for meniscus surgery on its own.
Before treatment: the scan wait too
An MRI scan is a separate NHS queue from the treatment wait above, and it comes first. At Wye Valley NHS Trust the typical MRI wait is 3 weeks, with 14% waiting over six weeks (June 2026).
