Surgery or rehab?
My friend (33F) injured her knee after a fall from a two wheeler. She apparently dislocated her patella and did an MRI one week post the injury (some swelling still present).
Doctors are giving mixed recommendations, one suggested MPFL repair surgery given high grade partial tear and the level of activity (returning to running, gym etc.). The other doctor recommended non-surgical rehab given this was the first dislocation.
Anyone here was in similar dilemma? Any doctors here who could share their valuable opinions.
Much thanks!
