I have had this procedure, and there is a huge possibility of scar tissue. I had some that was pretty painful at first but I don't even notice it anymore.... my knee feels good as new, however to answer the question it probably depends on the person and the rate at which his or her body recovers from the opporation.... good ol' physical therapy helps out a lot too.
