Question
pattrick
I'll try to keep this brief, Surgery on right knee 20 years ago and problem has been chronic. My own Ortho Surgeon stated directly to me that my problem is directly related to my previous surgery (active duty military football injury).
Here are the results: Range of motion full, Lachamns positive, McMurray's positive.
X-Ray= Joint Space Narrowing, degenerative changes along the medial meniscus.
MRI=1.findings consistent with Chronic, Complete ACL disruption with fibrosis may result in soft or absend end point on physical exam, Secondary instability of the tibia relative to the femur. 2. High-Grade chondromalacia, medial tibial plateau resulting in intermediate stress fracture (reaction). 3. Suprapatellar plical synovitis, patellofemoral chondromalacia, grade 3-4.
Doctor said he could perform surgery but couldn't guarantee it would help
Any advice on what to expect? Thanks in Advance!
