What is the treatment for patella tracking problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgical or non : Surgical. Your doctor will review with the options. You may be advised to have physical therapy, use a custom brace or shoe inserts (orthotics), stabilize your knee with tape or a neoprene brace, or lose excess weight. Surgery is not commonly done for patellar tracking disorders. But surgery is recommended in cases of repeated patellar dislocation, displaced or damaged cartilage
