A member asked:
If i were to have a "floating body" left from an old knee surgery, can it eventually disappear or " erode" away? or will it always be nuisance ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you are lucky: Sometimes will disappear and drop in the back of the knee , and sometimes we have to take it away.
