If these are the condition then the old history of injury is the cause of present symptoms. It has to be managed accordingly, for the better mobility surgery is the best option as long as the knee joint is concerned. I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions. Regards, Dr. Akhtarhusain
