Surgical therapy
In some patients with patellar tip syndrome, freedom from symptoms cannot be achieved even under strong conservative therapeutic efforts. In these cases, surgical therapy measures can be considered. Prior to surgical intervention, a conservative therapeutic attempt of at least 6 months should have been made to treat patellar tip syndrome. The following surgical therapy measures are used in the treatment of Patellar Tip Syndrome. They can be applied individually or in combination:
- Removal of the tendon sliding tissue.
- Denervation of the tendon environment.
- Tendon solution at the tip of the patella.
- Removal of the degenerative area (also arthroscopic possible)
- Tendon incisions in the longitudinal fiber direction
