Extensor mechanism realignment Cost at Aster Hospital, Mankhool

Extensor mechanism realignment can be used to address patellofemoral instability, to unload lateral or distal patella cartilage lesions, etc.

This type of surgery, performed under general anesthetic, usually involves altering the position of the tibial tuberosity to which the patella tendon is attached. This alters the angle of pull of the quadriceps muscles on the patella for patients in whom this pull is likely to cause dislocation of the patella.
