Question 1

what are the cause(s), possible outcomes (both good and bad), and best cure for a granuloma at the lower surgery incision point of an allograft acl reconstruction?  how long should it take to recover from the granulomatous?

the granuloma began oozing c

Accepted Answer

Tough question: This is not an easily answered question. Most diagnosis of granulomas distal to an acl reconstruction have a high potential for being an infection. Some of these are continuous with the graft, fixation, and even the joint. Because of this, a careful examination along with imaging is often needed to assess whether an extensive debridement versus graft removal is necessary.

Question 2

had gynecomastia surgery (incision on lower nipple line) 7 days ago,my left nipple is still slightly puffy.is it possible that this is swelling and not residual gland tissue?when will i know for sure?

Accepted Answer

Time: Mosr likely it represents swelling.  This is common.  Your doctor may recommend watching it for months.  Over time the swelling will decrease.  Talk to your doctor to make sure you are not on medication to cause gynecomastia

Not unusual: Not unusual unless associated with swelling, redness, pain, and especially with fever then you must go back and see your surgeon (possible wound infection).

Question 5

how long does it take mpfl reconstruction surgery incision to heal?

Accepted Answer

Incision: It usually takes 2-3 weeks for incisions to heal.  Even then they still will be tender and weaker than skin that has not been cut.  Be patient and follow the instructions of your surgeon.

Question 6

how long can staples stay on a surgery incision?

Accepted Answer

Until you die: Staples can stay on the incision long after the incision is healed. If the area is kept from infection and not irritated from movement of the staples they can stay in indefinitely. 
 This is not needed. There is min discomfort with removal and they can and generally are taken out with healing of the wound.

Question 7

after surgery is the incision wound suppose to be hard?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Because inflammation due to the trauma of surgery can cause fluid collection and "induration"  which is a hard feel to the tissue.

Question 8

after a surgery, what causes a bump to form on the incision?

Accepted Answer

See below: It could be a small infection cause a stitch abscess or it may just be a piece of stitch pushing up.

Question 9

does coconut oil reduce surgery incision marks?

Accepted Answer

Not documented: There are some spurious reports that vitamin e cream could reduce surgical scars. I'm not familiar with any attribution to coconut oil. You should keep the scar out of sunlight for 6-9 months after surgery to allow the scar to mature without sunlight influence. A simple 30 sunblock would suffice. Good luck.

Accepted Answer

Hernia: You may have developed an incisional hernia -- you should see your surgeon to have it evaluated.
