Patellar Stabilization Treatment in Islamabad:

Patellar instability, also called kneecap dislocation, is a condition in which the patella slips out of its original position. It happens due to a traumatic injury, ligament laxity, abnormalities in the bone, and muscle imbalance. It causes extreme pain, stiffness, and instability while walking or doing certain activities.

Patellar stabilization treatment is an approach to stabilize the dislocated kneecap and subluxation. It helps with recurrent joint misalignments, acute distress, instability, and buckling of the knee. Multiple surgical and non-invasive methods are used for the therapy based on the Intensity level.

Classification of Patella Dislocation Types:

  • Acute Patella Dislocation
  • Recurrent patellar dislocation
  • Superior Patellar Dislocation
  • Chronic patellar subluxation
  • Lateral Patellar Dislocation
  • Intra-articular Patellar Dislocation
  • Chronic Patellar Subluxation
  • Medial Patellar Dislocation
  • Congenital Patellar Dislocation

Surgical Goals for Treating Patella Dislocation:

Patellar stabilization treatment strives to give relief, like;

  • Smooth patella movement during stretching or flexion
  • Stabilizes the knee
  • Significantly lower pain 
  • Empowers normal knee functions 
  • Preventing further complications 

Expected Results of Kneecap Dislocation Treatment:

Kneecap dislocation can be cured through both invasive and non-invasive procedures. The treatment time can vary depending on the complexity of the damage. Recuperation for surgical treatment can be 6-12 months long with proper physiotherapy. You can expect a complete return to normal activities after a year.

Who Should Consider Patellar Stabilization Surgery?

Individuals most suitable for this treatment may possess;

  • Multiple dislocations in the Kneecap
  • Partial dislocation causing discomfort 
  • No impact of conservative treatments 
  • Abnormalities in the structure of the kneebones
  • Injuries in the medial patellofemoral ligament
  • Hard to perform daily activities

Non-Surgical Approaches For Patellar Stabilization:

Physiotherapy Physiotherapy plays an important role in empowering the hip muscles to avoid dislocations.
ImmobilizationAn immobilizer keeps the knee bone in place and allows soft tissues to heal.
Patellar tapping A unique taping method is used to support the kneecap in proper alignment.

Pre-Surgical Guidelines for Kneecap Restoration:

Some necessary cautions are to be followed for optimal outcomes.

  • Undergo imaging for proper damage examination
  • Discuss recent medicines with your physician
  • Do physiotherapy before taking this therapy for better recovery
  • Arrange supporting sticks for walking

Operative Methods for Kneecap Stabilization:

Approaches 

Processes 

Lateral Release Surgery 

Lateral release therapy is executed with the help of an arthroscope.

Tiny openings are created close to the knee.

The tight peripheral structure is set free; it can rotate in the centre within the femoral ground.

The injury is sealed with sutures and covered with a bandage.

Medial Refining 

The process is carried out in anesthesia.

An opening is made in the middle of the knee.

It tightens the tissues on the internal area of the knee to relocate the maltracking.

Usually integrated with lateral release surgery for satisfactory patellar tracking.

MPFL Repair 

In this process, the torn medial patellofemoral connective tissue is rebuilt using a graft.

The physician will fix the graft into the damaged area to relocate and stabilize the torn ligament.

Tibial tubercle transfer

The tibial tubercle osteotomy includes trimming and moving the shin bone to repair maltracking.

The tibia that is being cut is repositioned to correct the dislocation issues.

The wound is sealed, and a bandage is applied

Post Operative Measures:

To increase the success rate of the therapy, you must follow the measures below;

  • Take prescribed painkillers 
  • No load bearing for 4-6 weeks 
  • Wear knee braces 
  • Maintain the hygiene of the wound 
  • Follow proper physiotherapy 
  • Attend follow-up appointments 

Expenses Involved in Patellar Stabilization Procedures:

The expense for patellar stabilization is around 399,999 PKR-799,999 PKR. This is not the flat cost for the therapy; it can increase or decrease based on multiple factors and the technique used for the cure. Your physiotherapist will let you know the final expense for the therapy at your consultation meeting.
