Bush Knee Surgery Found Not Necessary

President Bush’s knee pain is the result of wear and tear and injuries over the years, doctors said in ruling out surgery and giving him the go-ahead to continue careful jogging.

Magnetic resonance imaging scans taken of both knees at Walter Reed Army Medical Center showed that the 57-year-old president has normal range of motion and strength in his knees, no fluid buildup and stable joints.

Bush consulted with two specialists. “Neither surgeon recommends surgery,” read a medical summary of Bush’s exam issued by the White House.
