The external appearance is a 5 out of 10. The wound has healed, which is why I attempted removal. I could not extract the suture because I had cut it on both sides. It appears fine. I have full range of motion in my knee without pain. I am wondering if there are specific external signs indicating an underlying issue. Everything was sterile during the process. I used alcohol during removal and applied it to the wound afterward.

Hello. Last week, I had three stitches in my knee. I decided not to return to the doctor, so I removed the sutures myself. Half of one suture remains inside my body. I need to know if this is dangerous or if it can remain there indefinitely. Is there a risk of infection or similar complications? The external tissue has healed, so I took matters into my own hands and removed the threads. 😁 If there is a danger, what is it, and would it be visible from the surface?
