Knee Capsule Info

Postby ems » Tue Nov 20, 2007 10:44 pm

Hi. I recently had a scope to see why my knee is still unstable (1 Nov). I have had 2 ACL reconstructions, medial repair, neuroma removed, meniscus removed, other scopes and cystic degeneration to the temdon(?? :? ) over the years. This time the surgeon said that my knee is rare and he sees something like it only once in every five years (so not good! :( ). Not sure if he meant the HMS or the problem. However, the present ACL is fine but something is wrong with the capsule of the knee. Until I get to see him (20 Dec), can anyone shed any light on the capsule of the joint. Why is may pose a problem/instability and what kind of repairs can be done. I have a brace which stops hyper exdending, but I feel the knee give before the 0 it is set on (does that make any sense? It does not give way in hyper extension, it happens before then). Any advice would be great :)
