A member asked:

Should i be concerned if my boyfriend has a calcium deposite on his knee is there any way a doctor can get rid of it without having to do surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Surgery is the only option. If the deposit is not cause of knee pain, there is no reason to remove it.
