Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2419427, member: 6761"] The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) helps to keep the kneecap centered along the front of the knee, so that it tracks well during knee movements. MPFL injuries typically occur during a forceful traumatic kneecap dislocation. This injury is most common among young, active females. Depending on the severity of an MPFL injury, treatment may involve surgical reconstruction, followed by physical therapy. another site: At four to seven months after MPFL reconstruction, most people can generally return to sport or play. I also read that the prognosis is excellent. All in all, seems far less severe than a torn ACL [/QUOTE]
