I had a knee replacement surgery a month ago and the wound has healed but there's still a little yellow pus coming from one spot I took linid 600 and duonem 200 for 6 days last week but the pus hasn't stopped completely should I keep taking the antibiotics and is it okay to cover that area with a gauze pad

Minimally invasive: Robotic-assisted surgery can sometimes be less invasive than manual surgery, leading to smaller incisions, less trauma to surrounding tissues, and potentially faster recovery times.

I hurt myself about three months ago, and my recent MRI shows I've got a grade 3 meniscal tear. I'm really concerned about whether or not this can heal without surgery. If I stick to proper physical therapy and medication, is there a chance it might recover on its own? I'm looking for some guidance here.

A grade 3 meniscal tear typically requires surgical intervention, but with proper physical therapy and medication, some patients may experience symptom relief and functional improvement without surgery; however, the tear itself may not fully heal on its own, and surgery, such as meniscectomy or meniscal repair, may still be necessary to prevent further damage, alleviate pain, and restore knee function; consult an orthopedic specialist to discuss the best course of treatment for your specific condition.
