In Response To: Re: Need opinions- (drmark)

Is it possible to still be having rejection issues 7 years post op? Also, I assume by you mentioning it that it's possible to have the graft rejected but still show up on the MRI as intact and to have a stable knee-

On the notion that it's a reaction to the cleaning of the graft, wouldn't this eventually work it's way out of the body? I guess I never thought the body could still be having a reaction this far out surgery.

If a biopsy of the allograft ACL was to occur, is this possible to happen in the doc's office, or is it an outpatient/hospital thing?

Lastly, how do I approach my OS about this option without sounding like I'm crazy?

Thanks for your unusual viewpoint on the problem. I like having a new approach to things that aren't just live with it.
