Reconstruction of Dislocating Patella in Augusta, KS

Reconstruction of dislocating patella is a minimally-invasive technique that shows promise for patients with recurrent patella (kneecap) dislocations. In this procedure, the surgeon uses a tendon graft to re-create the function of the native MPFL. A chronic condition, in which the kneecap continues to be unstable, can often be corrected by this procedure. It can be used to realign bone and repair or reconstruct the MPFL to keep the kneecap in place - or to release tissues that pull the kneecap out of the femoral groove.
