Is subchondroplasty suitable for knee pain from a bone marrow lesion?

I've been having knee pain for quite some time, and my MRI showed a bone marrow lesion. My doctor mentioned something called subchondroplasty, but I don't know much about it. Has anyone had this procedure before, and what was the recovery like?

I think it can be suitable for some people, depending on the MRI findings and the cause of the knee pain. I had swelling, a deep aching pain, and discomfort when putting weight on my knee, especially when walking and going up stairs. My MRI showed a bone marrow lesion, and Dr Cheng Chusheng performed subchondroplasty after assessing my knee. Recovery was gradual, but I slowly became more comfortable with daily activities. He has been our go-to ortho doctor for knee problems, and I would definitely consider him if you are looking for an orthoapedic surgeon in Singapore.😊
