Does An Old Fracture Lead To Knee Pain Or Any Other Issue?
ive had knee pain for approx. 10 years, about 6 years ago i had an xray and the doc said i had an old fracture in my knee that he said healed. i ve still had pain for the last 4 years since. i had an mri done and it said i have Chondromalacia patella, non specific edema/contusion of the medial tibial plateau and a partial or incomplete fracture cannot entirely be excluded, they want me to get another xray. could this fracture have not healed properly? and what would the consequences of this be? i dont feel like going another 10 years with the knee pain.
