The chip is underneath my patellar tendon and is partially embedded. He doesnt want to operate on it because it would cause a lot of disruption to the tendon and probably put me up for about 6 months.[/quote]
You mean that surgery(arthroscopy) can be done to remove a torn meniscus from an extremely narrow space between the actual leg bones with little disruption, but a chip cannot be removed from an area that is meant to move? jeez, people wouldn’t have patellar tracking issues if the darn thing wasn’t loose.
I think you need a second opinion, definitely. There shouldn’t be a need to cut the tendon to get the chip, especially if there’s an MRI available so you know exactly where it is.
I am not a doctor, but this just doesn’t sound right. And even if an op does cause 6 months difficulty, you can then enjoy full leg mobility for the rest of your life.
