Hi,

I had a knee arthroscope 11 weeks ago however I am still experiencing lateral knee pain especially during squatting.

My physio says I am still testing positive for a lateral cartilage tear via the appley test.

Should the appley test still be positive after so many weeks post op?

At the 2 week post op appointment with the surgeon he said it was an awkward horizontal fissure tear and that he cleared up the torn bits but had to leave a 'hole' in the cartilage which could cause problems further.

I havent been able to get back playing sport and I am really sick of the problem at this stage as I was told pre-op that I could be back playing after 4 weeks.

Please help! Does it still sound like the cartilage is still torn?
