Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction: A Case Report for an Integrated Rehabilitation Approach.

Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a surgical treatment, primarily indicated for patients grappling with recurrent patellar instability stemming from traumatic injury or underlying anatomical anomalies. This abstract aims to elucidate the indispensable role of physiotherapy in the post-operative rehabilitation trajectory for individuals subjected to MPFL reconstruction. Physiotherapy emerges as a linchpin in securing a triumphant outcome, fostering the healing of patellar stability, augmentation of range of motion (ROM), and bolstering muscular strength while concurrently mitigating potential complications. The abstract accentuates salient facets of a physiotherapeutic regimen, encompassing prompt post-operative mobilization, meticulously tailored exercise paradigms, adept utilization of manual therapy modalities, and comprehensive patient education. Notably, this collaborative endeavor between orthopedic surgeons and physiotherapists is pivotal in optimizing patient convalescence, restoring them to their pre-injury functional acumen. A paramount emphasis is placed on individualized rehabilitation strategies, gradual and systematic exercise protocols, and patient adherence, thereby underscoring how the harmonious synergy between surgical and physiotherapeutic interventions augments the prospects of achieving a successful MPFL reconstruction outcome.
