Recovery after MPFL Reconstruction
My surgery was done on 17th feb of mpfl reconstruction. I am still wearing braces with no pressure on that knee while walking. I want to know for how long we have to walk with braces and what is the total recovery time?

Usually we allowed knee range of exercises upto 30 degrees right from the next day with brace and non weight bearing to protect the graft. After 2 weeks knee movements increase to 60 then 90 gradually at 2 weeks interval. Brace can be kept upto 6 weeks and weight bearing can be allowed after that with support.
