Had a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repaired about 20 years ago, further op 8-10 years later while I was working for the airline to remove staples. Only thing I can think of that might affect your exams is I was very sleepy for about a month after the initial knee op. This was sometime ago, so things have probably improved since then, plus you're going for a different op. Check with the doctor and the anaethsetist for their advice.

It must seem like a lot now, but if your start into aviation is delayed by 6 months, but you have a fixed knee and great exam results, you won't even notice the delay in 20 years time....
