Plastic medial holder of the patella
Dislocation of the patella occurs at the moment of twisting in the joint and displacement of the kneecap: falling to the knee, hitting the straightened leg in the knee area. A gentle method of surgical treatment is arthroscopic intervention.

The mechanism of injury occurs as follows: the knee turns inward, the retaining muscle is sharply stretched. As a result, the internal restraint breaks and dislocation occurs. With repeated traumatization, osteoarthritis may develop.
Restoration of the integrity of the ligaments is performed using arthroscopic plastic surgery. During the operation, the patella "returns" to its place, the anatomical integrity of the joint is restored. Plastic surgery of the medial patellar retainer is performed by experienced sports orthopedic traumatologists and surgeons, which guarantees high efficiency of the procedure.
Clinical analysis of blood and urine Radiography of the knee joint Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Consultation with a therapist and specialized specialists such as an orthopedic traumatologist and an anesthesiologist
On the day of the operation, the patient is hospitalized in the morning, and laryngeal mask anesthesia is performed. A camera with instruments is inserted into the joint through micro-injections, with the help of which the condition of internal structures is assessed and the necessary manipulations are performed. The surgeon carefully adjusts the medial patellar retainer by strengthening existing ligaments or creating new ones fr om the patient's tissues or surgical materials. After the operation, the patient is transferred to the awakening room, wh ere his condition is monitored by medical staff. The operation lasts an average of 60-90 minutes.
Arthroscopes with high-quality optics Miniature surgical instruments
For the first 3 weeks, the knee joint is fixed in a straight orthosis, and the movement is carried out with the help of crutches. Then therapeutic gymnastics and physiotherapy (magnetotherapy, UVT, kinesiotaping, massage) are performed with a gradual increase in the load on the knee. After 4 weeks, a gradual transition from crutches to a cane begins, and then to walking without support. Full recovery takes 3-4 months.
Benefits
Precise correction
Return to the correct position of the patella.
Minimal invasiveness
The use of low-traumatic surgical techniques.
Fast recovery
Modern methods of treatment and rehabilitation contribute to a quick return to normal life.
Long-term result
Achieving a long-lasting effect of knee stability.
Preparation for plastic surgery of the medial patellar retainer
Before surgery, the patient undergoes a full medical examination, including an MRI or ultrasound of the knee joint, for accurate diagnosis and planning of surgical intervention. It is important to discuss with your doctor all the potential risks and expectations of surgery.

Plastic surgery of the medial patellar retainer
The surgeon makes several small incisions around the knee joint to insert arthroscopic equipment — a thin tube with a camera and a lighting device at the end. During the operation, the surgeon carefully adjusts the medial patellar retainer, strengthening existing ligaments or creating new ones from the patient's tissues or surgical materials.

Recommendations after plastic surgery of the medial patellar retainer
After surgery, the patient may be advised to wear an orthopedic splint to stabilize the knee, as well as perform exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist to restore strength and mobility of the joint. It is important to avoid intense stress on the knee during the first weeks after surgery.

Slipped, fell, woke up — plaster cast: about fracture treatment
A bone fracture is a common injury that almost everyone has been through. Although human bones are very strong, if the external force is too great, they can break like a plastic ruler when it is bent too much. In the article we will tell you how to act in case of a fracture.
Summer injuries: first aid for bruises, dislocations and sprains
Summer is a time for walking, outdoor activities and sports. The sun and warm weather encourage us to spend more time outside and enjoy nature. But the more we move, the higher the risk of injury becomes. It is not surprising that bruises and dislocations become frequent companions of summer leisure. Of course, in case of serious injuries such as fractures, it is necessary to consult a doctor immediately. But what to do with less significant injuries — minor bruises, sprains with slight swelling and pain? In such cases, you can help yourself and others on your own, knowing the basics of first aid. In this article, we will tell you how to cope with injuries sustained during summer activities and quickly return to your usual lifestyle.
What is the danger of flat feet and how to treat it?
Flat feet are an orthopedic problem in which the shape of the foot changes, its longitudinal and/or transverse arch decreases. Normally, the arches of the foot are responsible for cushioning and even distribution of the load when walking and running. But with flat feet, the foot cannot spring properly, which increases the load on the bones, joints and muscles of the legs.
What should I do if my ligaments are damaged?
Ligament damage is an injury in which there is a violation of the integrity of the fibers that make up the ligaments. Ligaments connect bones to each other, stabilizing joints and preventing their excessive movement. They are made up of collagen fibers, which give them strength and elasticity. But under the external influence of the ligament, the length of the ligaments almost does not change, so the fibers can rupture. Ligaments are damaged due to excessive stretching or sudden movement exceeding their normal amplitude. This can happen if you land incorrectly after a jump, fall, abruptly change the direction of movement or a direct blow to the joint.
