A Rugby Football Union Statement read: "A full recovery is expected as quickly and as safely as possible under the guidance of the operating surgeon.
"Ben will continue his rehabilitation with the England medics in close consultation with their Leicester Tigers counterparts."
Youngs should return to action in six weeks, making him available for the second of the World Cup tune-up matches against Wales on August 13.
