17 year old daughter to get trochleoplasty

Hi

My daughter who is only 17 has suffered with knee dislocations since she was 8 years old. We have discovered she has numerous problems with her leg and knee and she is scheduled to have a lateral release, an osteotomy and a trochleoplasty all done at the same time in September. We have been told she will have no movement in her leg for 6-8 weeks, intense physio for at least 6 months and will take about 2 years for full rehabilitation. I am just wondering if anyone else has all 3 at the same time and what to expect

Many thanks

Sheena

FINALLY i got heard and taken seriously. Nervous about the op but heres hoping it helps. Any advice etc welcome

      Hello,

      How did you get on with your trocheoplasty? I'm 32 and also just had trocheoplasty and MPFL reconstruction. I would be curious to know how you got on and what help did you get?
