MPFL reconstruction becomes important when the kneecap keeps slipping out of place or feels unstable during daily activities. At the clinic of Dr Pranjal Kodkani in Mumbai, many young adults and sports enthusiasts walk in with repeated patellar dislocations and the constant fear that their knee might give way again. It affects confidence while running, climbing stairs, or even sitting and standing.
The Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) helps keep the kneecap in its correct track. When it is torn, reconstruction is often the most reliable way to restore stability. The procedure aims to realign and reinforce support for the patella, reducing the chances of future dislocations. Treatment planning always considers age, activity level, knee shape, and long term joint health.
Rehabilitation after MPFL reconstruction focuses on regaining strength, flexibility, and trust in the knee. Step by step, movement becomes more natural again. If repeated kneecap slipping has started limiting your lifestyle, timely attention can make a real difference. Book an appointment with Dr Pranjal Kodkani in Mumbai and discuss whether MPFL reconstruction is right for you.
