Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query, you may send the x-ray picture at http://bit.ly/drmchugh and my e mail id drmukesh_chugh@rediffmail.com.
Were you able to move knee joint more than 90 degree for the last so many years? and it has decreased only recently, is it true? If plate is the cause of decreased movement,then only it may be removed.
Take care
Dr.chugh,Orthopaedic surgeon
