Nancy, I just recently heard about how doctors are going to this procedure (when it is warranted) to avoid full knee replacement. Re-positioning the patellar tendon onto the tibial tuberosity is just flat out genius...and, could only be done with today's technology. It just blows me away at how talented and well-trained our surgeons are.
I really hope that your Doctor finds out that this procedure will work for you...it is my understanding that it is less invasive, and the recovery is much quicker. At least this comes from a man where I work who was researching this option when it was mentioned to him by his Doctor. Good luck, Nancy. Please keep us informed on your progress.
