For PFJ problems there will be a reason why there is softening of the cartilage for example.

In my case I had trochlear dysplasia which was addressed by a trochleoplasty. I also have patella alta.

Orthokine is generally not recommended for the average person. Some elite sports people have used them but generally don't last long. I had a lengthy discussion with my knee surgeon about them.

As you get stronger it will probably happen less.

At Pure Sports Medicine Dr Mike Bundy is very good. You'd probably be better off seeing a Sports Physician first. Fortius is a great clinic too. In general orthokine and PRP injections aren't very popular in the UK and Australia as there is very little research backing them up. You are taking a gamb...

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has had Patellofemoral surgery in Lyon, France with Dr David Dejour.

Am particularly interested hearing from anyone that isn't a French national.

Sorry to hear.

I'd see a surgeon who specialises in patella problems.

Whereabouts are you located ?

Not sure where you are but I'd be getting another opinion.

I had this surgery and did really well with it.

Hi,

It's some surgery currently being considered.

I know of a couple people who've had this surgery and done well with it.

Where are you having it ?

Thanks, a week till I get the second opinion.

It will get better.

Perhaps speak to your surgeon about using a brace.

All the best with your recovery.
