A member asked:

Knee microfracture what sort of crutches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There are several.: Standard crutches should be sufficient. They are the most common type. There are also forearm crutches, which may be more comfortable, but you should check with your surgeon to see if he/she approves.
