Avatar f tn 3weeks post op I finally get an emergency post op appointment with my surgeon, he drains 150ml of fluid from my knee and also did blood tests. I then got a call a couple of days later to tell me I needed to come back in to speak with the surgeon about my results. This was today, 4 weeks post op and i went to my appointment. My knee is still at least double if not more in size, you can see the fluid, the squishyness etc It had odd looking lumps around the knee that are just full.
Avatar m tn Since you are young, he should have been thinking to preserve your meniscus. I would suggest you to go to a good knee surgeon for proper management. do let us know what you decided.
Avatar n tn Thus, ACL prevents the tibia from sliding too far forward and also contributes stability to other movements at the joint including the angulation, rotation at the knee joint. When an ACL injury occurs, the knee becomes less stable and there is a sensation that the knee will 'give out' from under them. Consequently, there would be difficulty in doing high demand work beyond the activities of daily living.
Avatar f tn Surgical repair for torn meniscus of L' Knee. 3 months post-op it buckled, caused tear during fall to R' Knee and meniscus was surgically repaired but has also failed, although the surgeon refuses to order an MRI to "prove" this latest injury. Pain is an issue as I am allergic to all pain meds ordered to date and take nothing for the pain levels of 9-10. Before injury both knees were healthy, minimal arthritic changes on MRI's in spite of age 58 and obesity.

634733 tn?1316625992 In September last year I had problems with my legs to the point of being unable to walk for a time, which ended in being referred to an orthopedic surgeon. An MRI on my knees in January this year revealed that the right knee has some reduced space, bits of bone / debris and a tear in the meniscus cartilage. This was anticipated as it has given me problems for approximately 12 years. An arthroscopy was recommended and is booked to go ahead on 1st May.
Avatar f tn My dog had two knee surgeries this year. One was a TTA to repair her ccl. Then while healing from that they discovered her patellar tendon was torn so we repaired that. Now her knee is fine but at vet yesterday they found that the wire used to repair is exposed on outside of her knee. There is no infection or even sore skin. It’s just slowly becoming more and more exposed. How can this be fixed? Our appt with surgeon is in one week. Is this an emergency?
Avatar f tn As an aside, although many orthopedists perform this operation, it is always a good idea to inquire how many the treating surgeon does, Other issues to explore are what will the surgeon use to replace the ACL: hamstring vs. patella tendon, allograft vs. autograft.
Avatar f tn A referral has been made to a top notch orthopedic surgeon whose specialty is the knee. I will ask that this be pushed up as soon as possible. I am going to research everything I can about the knee so that I ask the right questions when we meet with the surgeon. Once again, thank you so much for your help. Wish I could help you. One thing I can tell you about that you may want to look into for you and your son, is something called Wobenzym N and Wobenzym Plus.
Avatar f tn The orthopedic surgeon has said that he thinks he can save my ACL ligament via an operation without the use of a graft. He said by doing this type of operation it will be much better in terms of healing ect. I have to do this operation within 8 weeks of the injury occurring or he said it isn't possible and I would have to have a different operation. I have been trying to research this style of operation but I can only find the option where it talks about using a graft from other body parts.
Avatar m tn I was having severe knee pain and it felt like my right leg was going to give out on me even when walking. I also noticed that my fibula head was sticking way out. They diagnosed me with a proximal tibiofibular joint injury/instabilityand my knee is and joint is very unstable. They wanted to see if PT would help. My therapist was very weary of working with that leg and after 4 weeks of therapy and tapping they referred me back. I now have ankle pain and numb.

Avatar n tn My wife underwent a lipoma operation last Feb,08.The lipoma was below the left knee and was removed from the back.The lipoma was about 4.5inc long and 2 inc wide. She thought it was just an oversize muscle until she underwent a scan. During operation , the artery was cut and this complicated the whole operation. It took about two hours before a cardio-vascular doctor arreve and was able to sew back the operation. The firest two months was horrible. Pain relievers was given.
Avatar m tn i have recently had a knee operation to fix the cartilage. on investigating they found that my femor and knee cap was in a bad way and worn and in time i will need a knee cap replacement, however thankfully not at the present time. Iam a fit person who teaches amrtial arts. My problem is that it has been weeks since my operation but the knee is still badly swollen and sore and i am still struggling to straighten it and bend it behonf 40 degrees..
Avatar f tn Patients with a loose total knee joint limp. The pain is usually felt in the whole knee area, predominantly in the front, along with increasing stiffness and effusion in the knee joint. With advancing time patient will not be able to put weight and diminished motion in the joint. Diagnosis can be made with the help of X-rays. Revision operation can be considered if there is unbearable pain, progression of osteolysis and loss of function.
Avatar m tn I am trying not to have the operation as I have heard some good and some about knee operations.
Avatar n tn I think this is to get the knee and the muscles as strong as possible before the operation, as it is really weak and there is a lot of muscle wasting due to 4 weeks of not moving it I guess. The physio was baffled as to why I wasn't given any exercises sooner.
Avatar m tn His left knee can only bend about 20 degrees before sharp pain sets in, while his right knee can bend about 60 or 70 degrees before feeling pain. He's been seeing a physio but the severe pain and limited range of motion in his left knee bothers me. His knee feels stiff and sore and he struggles to move the left leg. I'd like to hear from an orthopedic expert, are there any obvious "mistakes" that can be made during this kind of surgery?
Avatar m tn At 7 days post operation should I no longer be elevating my knee? Should I be sleeping with my knee elevated? I’ve read some places it slows down healing when you elevate your operated upon leg after the 48-72 hour mark after the surgery. Also I read some places icing your knee after the 72 hour mark after surgery can slow healing as well. Can anyone confirm or deny either?? Thanks!
159619 tn?1707018272 I have had many knee injuries over the past few years with considerable chronic pain. MRIs of both knees show tears in the meniscus, bucket tears specifically, as well as grade II MCL tears. In addition to the soft tissue damage, both knees show degenerative OA. I have just relocated and started seeing a new Orthopedic surgeon and he is recommending doing arthroscopic surgeries on both knees which is scheduled for February 3rd.
Avatar n tn Below are the findings of my knee MRI please suggest in this case should i go ahead with the arthoscopy or shall take a treatment..
