Treatment of Patellofemoral Problems
Arthroscopy is an accurate way to determine the extent of damage, degeneration or wear and tear on the articular cartilage surfaces. During the surgery, if your surgeon determines that there are areas of articular cartilage that are rough, s/he may make the surface smooth using a procedure known as shaving the patella.
In advanced cases of patellofemoral problems, surgical repair may be used to restore damage to the articular cartilage. The type of surgery depends on the size, type, and location of the damage.
A procedure known as lateral release can help in treating patellofemoral problems. Lateral release refers to cutting the tight ligaments on the outside (lateral side) of the kneecap to allow the patella to slide more toward the center of the femoral (thigh bone) groove. Such surgery may be suggested if your patellofemoral problems are the result of misalignment. After the surgery, as the ligaments heal, the resulting scar tissue fills the gap left by the surgery. As a result, the quadriceps mechanism becomes balanced and the pressure on the articular cartilage behind the kneecap gets equalized.
In some cases, the tendons on the inside edge or the medial side of the knee may also have to be tightened. In severe cases, the treatment of patellofemoral problems may need realignment of the bones. The surgeon will remove some part of the bone where the patellar tendon attaches on the tibia, followed by reattaching the tendon on the tibia closer to the other knee with the help of screws.
After surgery, physical therapy, that includes stretching and strengthening exercises, will be prescribed to regain muscle balance and help in the patellofemoral surgery recovery. Your exercises may be part of a formal physical therapy routine to correct any muscle imbalances.
