For petello femoral pain in knee needs surgery?

Usually not!: First, there are exercises you can even get off of Google. Often people need to really strengthen their VMO muscle. Google VMO exercise. If those fail then a Family physician or orthopedic surgeon can help. If nothing works, then an MRI might indicate you need surgery. This is unusual if your pain is just patellofemoral.
