The break was such that everything was in the right place so surgery was elective and I elected not to it healed perfectly but the soft tissue damage from the break is what is causing the arthritis in the joint.

research has lead me to the conclusion that the hospital was right, a bad break (mine was in 2 places one horizontal one vertical) is an almost certainty you will have to have knee replacement.

I have seen the Xrays and the mri it did heal perfectly...no issues there...its the destroyed cartilage or whatever in the joint that is the problem.
