I have been diagnosed with Patellar Clunk syndrome which has been getting progressively worse as time goes in. It's a very uncomfortable clunking with every step or kick in the pool. I'm almost 7 months and one doc says it can be fixed thru the arthroscope but my surgeon says open debridement is more effective and thorough. This of course means the entire length of my original scar will have to be reopened. Of course recovery will be no where near as difficult as TKR since only soft tissue will be cut but I am worried about scar tissue redeveloping after corrective surgery. I hate to have another big open surgery for obvious reasons but it would be nice to have a smooth stride instead of a clunky one. It's like having a pebble in your shoe that you can't do anything about. Hard to get use to. You having had this surgery is it worth it beings there's a chance overproduction of scar tissue developing again is a risk? Although Patellar Clunk is very specific and is an overproduction of synovium tissue. 🤷🏼
