haven't been able to locate such a replacement.. will go back to google
every photo and diagram shown show the replacement going under the existing
patella...

interesting...and might be feasible if the original shattering of patella
had not occurred over 31 years ago...surgeons then described "picking out
the pieces"
my ortho says NOW it would not work...most of the sites you so nicely gave
me refer to "removing existing patella" etc...which means all the soft
structures are intact at the time...
my knee is a mess
my ortho says he very very rarely attempts removal of patella...

shoot - shoulda remembered that yours occurred way back!
actually, i agree with your guy - patella replacement doesn't have all
that high a high percentage for durability, not to mention scarring of
soft tissues/lig/ten
welp - just have to wait for them to be able to grow us new parts!
other than the jigsaw knee - how's tricks?
be well

ahhh...can't complain...too much....
did tear the quad tendon (bad knee) this summer...just a small tear tho...so
we waited for "nature to take its course and it seems to have
healed"...avoid ortho surgery as much as possible...
still holding out on the opposite ankle's posterior tibial tendon which has
degenerated...cannot be repaired..so only Rx is "tendon
transplant"...yikes..talk about a year or more of rehab etc...
not to mention the ongoing headaches...
yeah...not bad,,considering..

well shucks rosie - you've had more than your share this year - how's
about you get somebody else to tackle the next thing?
got to agree with you tho, i'm at the point of doing whatever just to
try to avoid another surgery - been there done that way too often
nothing working for the headaches these days?
