Should The Lump In Knee Tested Before Knee Replacement Surgery?
my wife is due for knee replacement in two days. About a month ago she discovered a nodule on the side of the knee which is firm but movable and mildly painful to the touch. Her primary still sighed her off for surgery, but I am not good with this. Should not the lump have been thoroughly diagnosed before the scheduled surgery

HI. I think , yes.
If the primary has thought that this is of no clinical significance, nothing can be done. But the best part is the operating surgeon would definitely bother about this.; will have a clinical consideration and would bother about it only if he feels so. Otherwise you too do not worry about this. Just See that it has been noticed and seen by your Specialist.
