Reconstruction, Dislocating Patella Procedure

Dislocating patella reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair a kneecap that is continuously dislocating. The goal of this procedure is to stabilize the kneecap by repairing and tightening the surrounding soft tissues and structures. Kneecap dislocation is most commonly the result of a traumatic injury, and it can continue to dislocate due to small movements. If your kneecap continues to dislocate, it is important to seek treatment.
 

When is this Procedure Necessary?

Dislocating patella reconstruction becomes medically necessary when conservative treatments have proven ineffective and patients continue to experience painful symptoms and the dislocations persist. This surgical intervention is primarily recommended in cases where the kneecap frequently dislocates during daily activities or even with minimal trauma. If patients are unsure whether dislocated patella reconstruction is right for them, they should consult their doctor for further guidance.

What To Expect

Patients will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. During the procedure, the surgeon will make small incisions around the knee joint to access the damaged structures. Through careful examination, any torn ligaments or damaged cartilage are repaired or reconstructed using various techniques such as suture anchor fixation or tissue grafts. Additionally, realignment of bones may be necessary to correct malalignment and ensure proper tracking of the patella within its groove.

 

After the procedure, patients are advised to rest and limit weight-bearing activities to allow the region to heal. As the recovery progresses, physical therapy plays a role in restoring normal knee function. Patients will visit their doctors two weeks after surgery to ensure they are recovering well.
