Is it okay to play basketball with loose cartilage in my ankle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See orthopedist : Its difficult to conclude from your description. However, if you are having no symptoms from the "loose cartilage" then you may be ok without removing it. Preferably, you will discuss this with an orthopedist and discuss all appropriate options including surgery if needed.
