Thanks but you havn't told me where the non-weightbearing parts are.  If my chrdonplsty had failed would there be lots of swelling, heat, loss of rom and catching and crackling going on?  There arn't any of these so might I be OK.

Hello!

The medial condyle is larger than the lateral condyle of your femur bone due to more weight bearing caused by the center of gravity being medial to the knee.

The medial and lateral menisci ligaments are interposed between the femoral and tibial condyles.

The posterior cruciate connects the back of the tibia to the front of the medial femoral condyle.

Check with your orthopedician after proper scans.

Take care!

Please please can somebody tell me it's very important.  Not knowing whether the chrondolasy has failed or not is driving me mad.  If anyone knows please please answer.
