A member asked:
There's a chip of bone floating in my knee due to sports injury. i was told that the bone will dissolve by itself. is it true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Bone chips do not dissolve. If you are getting catching, locking, or swelling you should consider arthroscopy to have it removed.
