English
Patients with anterior knee pain and/or dislocation of the knee cap requires a tailored approach according to the cause of the problem. Sometimes this is due to lax or torn ligaments on one side and or tight ligaments on the other side. This entails surgical intervension with either release of the tight structures or replacing the torn or lax structures.
Gracillis (smaller of the hamstrings tendon) is harvested through a 2 cm incision over upper aspect of leg. It is laid and fixed on the edge of the knee cap through a 1 cm incision a passed percutaneously to insert in the place of the old ligament.
