What Is The Procedure Of Performing Medial Patellofemoral Surgery?
Hello, I m getting Medial patellofemoral surgery in a couple of weeks, but I m trying to understand the procedure. My orthopedic didn t say I needed it to be reconstructed, so what will he be doing. If it helps he told me that my MPFL tore from my patella

Mpfl is medial patello femoral ligament reconstruction. It can tear due to injury causing patella to deviate outerside. In this procedure we open medial patella and make drill holes in it and fix it with femur making a hole there. Whole surgery done just with 2 small incisions. No need to panic. You have to concentrate on physiotherapy for better results.
Thanks
