Can Osteochondromatosis Heal After Surgery?
Is it wise to have surface tears of the meniscus and synovial osteochondromatosis of the knee arthroscopically removed? Is it possible that in time the body will heal and rejuvenate the area? I am a 58 Year old active woman in good health. I had an MRI and saw orthopedic surgeon. My knee (right) seems to have a few things going on. Joint effusion, plus the tears in Medial and Lateral meniscus. I am a very conservative person and wonder if physical therapy, chiropractive should be done first. Or is it a waste of time and I will have to have the knee cleaned out eventually.
