Not sure if this helps, but I suffered a similar injury playing ultimate frisbee 2 years back. I had a partial tear on the inside part of my right knee, and had surgery to repair the tear.

I ended up being off of it for a while - about 2.5 weeks until I was riding a bike, but almost 2 months before I could run (on a treadmill) and only 4 months until I could play sports again. My advice would be to not push the recovery. I recovered very slowly (not sure why, just had a good amount of pain for a long time). Usually recovery time from meniscus surgery is really fast.

The one good thing about meniscus tears is that it isn't very easy to re-injure it in the same way. It's a little bit different than other injuries such as breaks where the area is a lot weaker after it's healed.
