Is surgery needed for arthritis in knee with lump under knee cap?
Patient: Hi, I have been diagnosed as having arthritis in my right knee. I have had a movable soft lump slightly off centre and a little under the knee cap of my left knee, im concerned this will result in needing to have this one operated on...can you advise? Doctor: Hello,  Consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan.  If required you can go for an arthroscopic repair.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
