Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the unstable patella after fixation surgery may be of concern with various possibilities as:
- Loosening of titanium retainers
- Lack of tissue support needed due to congenital issues of tissue strength
- Ligament laxity
- Repeated trauma or over extension maneuvers
However, if you can provide me latest images of the patella and surrounding structures through CT images, I can guide further precisely in this regard.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
