Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It has been long since the accident happened so the present complaints may not be due to that unless it is being proved clinically. If these are the condition then the old history of injury is the cause of present symptoms. It has to be managed accordingly, for the better mobility surgery is the best option as long as the knee joint is concerned.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions. Regards, Dr. Akhtarhusain
