Question

I'm starting to get some pain in my left knee whenever I walk about half a kilometer. I had a screw put in there at your hospital 7 years ago. I'm really curious if I should be looking into getting the screw removed or if it's okay to continue living with it. What's the best way to go about this?

Question

It's been over 120 days since my surgery and I'm still using an elbow crutch for support while walking. I feel a bit of pain in my knee, maybe from the implant, and some discomfort in the area where I had the fracture. Is this normal? I don't feel confident enough to walk without support yet. How much walking practice is safe at this stage, and what exercises can I do to build strength so I can walk without support soon? I've attached my x-ray from March 25 for reference.

Question

I've been diagnosed with grade 4 chondromalacia and a partial ACL tear can this be fully fixed with surgery or will physiotherapy be enough to recover properly
