 Hello,
Corrective knee surgery at 21?
It depends on what is needed to correct. If we are talking about ligament damage e.g. ACL tear or cartilage damage then yes.
If the consideration is for a knee replacement, then no - that is not done until later in life (50 years old and up).
Hope this helps.
Take care.
