Rapper Smudo from the Fantastischen Vier survived the operation after his stage accident in Bonn.
"Off home," wrote the 54-year-old musician on Instagram - and thanked the "Community Hospital Bonn for the hospitality, care and humor".
The rapper injured his knee on Friday during a performance by the Fantastischen Vier in front of 14,000 spectators on Bonn's Hofgartenwiese.
"There are worse places to jump through the patellar tendon than at the end of the tour on stage," Smudo posted on Instagram late Saturday evening.
He also apologized for the fact that the concert planned for Saturday in Osnabrück had to be cancelled.
The operation went "perfectly well" and the atmosphere was good, wrote the musician.
Smudo, whose real name is Michael Bernd Schmidt, is a founding member of the group Die Fantastischen Vier.
The musicians are considered the pioneers of German-language rap.
