Do physical therapy.: An article discussed this. 3/4 of patitns precover with phsycial theapy. Surgery is rare. One needs: 1) instruction of appropriate knee exercise/sports ; 2) a 3 month stretching program for the muscles; 3) providing guidance for knee extension exercises, especially "physical terminal" knee extension exercises, for strengthening.
