Reconstructive surgery for dislocated patella stability
A surgical procedure to reconstruct a dislocated patella (kneecap) with external realignment and strengthening of the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) muscle. The VMO muscle helps to stabilize the patella and prevent it from dislocating again. The surgery involves making incisions in the knee and repositioning the patella into its proper place. The VMO muscle is then strengthened through exercises and physical therapy to improve knee function and prevent future dislocations. This procedure is typically recommended for patients who have experienced recurrent dislocations or instability of the patella.
