Does knee replacement leave alot of disadvantages? |
My mother went to take an MRI at an arthiris specialist and it showed that she has a tear behind the cartilage of her knee and she assumes that she is probably going to need a knee replacement. We haven't went to an orthapedic but she is very concerned about this. Will this leave her disadvantages? Will this stop her from running, walking, or even dancing which she loves to do? Not sure she will need a knee replacement. Maybe this can be fixed with minor surgery-possibly orthoscopic. It shouldnt. Just for a few weeks. get a second opinion, torn cartilage is usually fixable without knee replacement. |
