How To Treat Pain In Left Knee After Having Cartilage Replacement Surgery?
I had cadaver bone and cartilage replacement surgery 5 weeks ago and still have pain on the inside of left knee . I have osteoarthritis and I m 59 yrs old I have been told that this procedure has low success rate for those 2 markers . My surgeon wanted to try it because my cartilage on the outside is still very good and the knee structure ( ligaments) are all strong but now I understand that chronomaccia of the patella is a problem . Is total knee replacement my last option. Thanks Stan
You are suffering from osteoarthritis and unsuccessful cadaveric replacement. As per the treatment options are available it included pain killers and some anti-inflammatory drugs but the permanent solution is total knee replacement.
