Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. It depends upon the size of swelling and associated problems. It will be better if you can send me the mri images and report and if possible a clinical picture of back of his involved knee? do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
