Hello. I had a torn ACL around 15 yrs ago and had surgery with 1 or 2 metal staples put in my left knee (around that time). Q: I am asking for a medical opinion, if I were your patient, would you allow laser treatment over this area? (that there would be no harm for my knee with metal staple(s)? Their office told me to mention that this laser is a Diode Laser that goes 800 nano meters deep. It's also called a "lightSheer laser". Thank you.
