Is Patellafemoral Replacement Effective For Degeneritive Disease?
Hello, Arthroscopic repair will be the first choice but in your case, multiple scopies were attempted and failed. So you can proceed with the patellofemoral replacement. Nothing much to worry and your treatment is in the right track. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
