i am having an open VMO advancement in couple of weeks. I have tried to search the internet for information about this procedure but coming up empty handed. For anyone that has had this surgery, how is it done. What can I expect as far as recovery goes? Thank you.

VMO is short for vastus medialis oblique muscle. It is one of the quadriceps muscles on the inside front of the thigh, just above the knee. Strengthening this muscle is particularly important for knee rehabilitation as it helps control the position of the patella (kneecap).
