Does The Cement Break Through The Skin Post A Knee Replacement Surgery?
Hi, The bone cement used in the procedure might seep through the skin once there is ligament tear or necrosis. You can proceed with arthroscopic repair without any concerns. Nothing much to worry and your treatment is on the right track. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
