Swelling in knee

2018-01-05 13:38:28
Hi, My sister is having swelling in her right knee since one and half month. She was bed ridden for a while after then started working with the swelling leg. One doctor said to take bed rest that's enough as another one is saying need to go for surgery. I'm attaching the report (X-RAY and MRI scan). Please do let me know about my situation and is surgery needed or not.
