A member asked:

How long does it take to heal from a mpfl reconstruction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Incision: It usually takes 2-3 weeks for incisions to heal. Even then they still will be tender and weaker than skin that has not been cut. Be patient and follow the instructions of your surgeon.
