Just asking a 2nd medical opinion
Mom(50years) got a knee injury on 4th May .
Doctor gave Paracetamol,Diclofenac and Serratiopetidase tablets and cepodoxime 200 mg tablets for 5 days with complete rest and scrap bandage (with that scrap support her leg is sometimes dislocating while walking.
Now we did an MRI and the report i am attaching...Doctor now gave Phlogame Forte tablets and linezolide tablets for another 5 days with complete rest.
Now he told he will operate it in our city ( basically a district town) and its will take 2-3 hrs...and he will bring arthroscopic instrument from outside for this surgery in a nursing home..Now I KNOW ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO SAY BUT STILL can be proceed for it (i mean as no bone fracture and not that severe) or we should move KOLKATA for it which will be quiet far from our city.
I am requesting an OPINION and ASSURANCE 🙏
I mean it will be very helpful if we do it from our city as no inclination for too much Running here and there.

it is not bone fracture it is tear (fracture) of ligament which cause anterior tibial translation (what you feel is dislocation).
if your operating surgeon is doing regular arthroscopic procedures then need not to worry.
talk with your operating surgeon regarding all the details regarding procedure and recovery after operation.
