A member asked:
I have knock knees at age 17 (no arthritis). will fixing the deformity without arthritis heal better than someone who has arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally yes.: Surgery does not always have problems in people with arthritis, but there would be less problems without arthritis statistically speaking.
