Patella Femoral Replacement

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi,

Looking for advice. I am a 38 year old marathon runner whom now has stage 4 OA in my left kneecap and I am in a lot of pain. I am looking hard at the PFJ replacement and wanted to see peoples experiences with this surgery? Everyone tells me I am too young however I struggle to walk hence I can't see the downside other than the recovery.

I have severe pain under knee cap and it the absolute worst thing I have ever felt. it's been five years and Dr's have no answer, all exams show no issues. they think it's crps. feels like I have needles under my skin. Again sorry for your pain.
