A member asked:
Help me please? im getting tibial tuberosity transfer and i was wondering what the procedure was?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tibial transfer: this procedure is usually done to change the angle of your kneecap as it tracks in the groove of your knee. This helps prevent further dislocations. The small bump (tibial tuberosity) on the front of your knee is released, moved inward and then screwed in place
