Are there any benefits that we could possibly have

Edit Post

Less risk of deep infection with LATN because there's no vector to the nail from the outside world like in LON.

So when rods are inserted, they are screwed through patellar ligament? Which causes the rupture of a patellar ligament?

I understand that Patella patellofemoral osteoarthritis is chronic pain, but to come to this you have to go ignore the pain and not do physio or other treatments including surgery or stem cells.

Could you please share more on that?

A small incision is made in that ligament, and they put the nail through that hole.  Not screwed in but (somewhat) gently hammered in.

If you mean me, I don't have patellofemoral osteoarthritis.

I see.

Just to summarize.

You've had LON surgery 12-13 yrs. ago, meaning that an incision was made in that ligament. After nails have been removed, do you feel any discomfort or pain in your knees that could be caused by Patellofemoral syndrome?

I understand that one way to diagnose it besides the pain, would be MRI scan?

Lastly, did you ever took gait analysis or test your feet for pronation? Because from working with my physio I believe that majority of knee, hip problems comes from weak feet.
