Will The Legs Be In Brace While Being On Crutches After Open Surgery Of The Knee?
I have been told I have a small hole in the back of my right knee cap and was told to see if it will heal itself if not then the doctor will take some bone from somewhere else and plug it as the pain down the front of my leg is getting worse but he has to cut open from the back of my leg and can t do keyhole so would be open surgery. He says I will be on crutches for 4 weeks will my leg be in a brace or can I bend my leg straight after with stitches in?
