Sanjay Desai, who operated upon the 49-year-old actor, said in a statement, "Mr Khan has been suffering from repeated pain and swelling of left knee over the last several months.
"Today's surgery confirms chondral wear of Patella, which is due to repeated injuries over the last few years. Based on today's arthroscopic evaluation, future management will be planned. He has recovered well and is likely to be discharged tomorrow (Friday)."
