A member asked:
Is it ok to get surgery on my knee 3 years after i injured it? will there be complications? what about any scar tissue that has formed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Orthopedic surgeon: This is a question that requires physical examination, radiographic study and careful history taking. That would determine appropriateness for surgical procedure, which procedure is recommended and based on that - possible complications. If the knee has a significant but repairable injury - an orthopedic surgeon would be able to advise you about surgery.
