Varies: There are many options for the surgical treatment of patellafemoral instability. In general, there are soft tissue procedures which involve the tightening or loosening of the soft tissues that stabilize the patella, and there are larger bone procedures which involve breaking and realigning the leg. The specific nature of your procedure should be discussed with your surgeon. Thank you.
