Arthroscopy on Alex's Left knee (11-Feb-04)

Alex's Left knee was damaged some years ago (maybe???); it started causing pain in March 2003; an MRI scan was carried out on 9-Aug-03; arthroscopic surgery was undertaken at Hollywood Private Hospital on 11-Feb-04. Problem was damage to the meniscus (cartilage) in the space between Tibia & Femur behind the kneecap.
For further information, see (eg) http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/html/steps/step_04_meniscus/anatomy.html
These are pictures taken using the arthroscope.
