What Causes The Shift In A Ligament Above The Knee Cap?
Hi doctor I had Bilateral Release on my Left Knee around 2 years ago. Since then till now I m great but recently after a gym session I feel a slight shift in a ligament above my knee cap on the left knee. it almost feels like a small ball. It just feels weird for 2 seconds but their is no discomfort or pain what so ever. Im just curious to know it is. It only occurs when I fully bend the knee

Hi
after most operations whether open surgery or key hole surgery the healing process is by formation of scar tissues in the operated area and this scar tissue sometimes can be perceived by a patient when stretching the operated area. if it is not painful or uncomfortable then there is no need to worry about it but please continue monitoring this phenomenon and if it worsens in anyway then please visit your surgeon again
