How long does it take to recover from a maltracking surgery?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: How rapidly one recovers from mal-tracking surgery depends on the method employed to correct the mal-tracking. Arthroscopic lateral release will take anywhere from 6-10 weeks for full recovery. Tibial tubercle osteotomy will easily take twice that long. Vmo advancement and medial capsular plication will take about 12 weeks for recovery.

PF maltrack: Depends what is done: lateral release, medial reefing, allograft medial pf procedure. Consider 6-12 weeks including rehab.
