Novel 3D Printing Tech Realigns Patellofemoral Instability Rehab?

Novel 3D printing technology may realign patellofemoral instability rehab
I’m not exactly sure how 3D printing can help rehabilitate patients with patellofemoral instability — but I’m excited to learn more. While as surgeons we can change certain aspects of a patient’s anatomy, we still rely on the physical therapists to help our patients improve their strength and mechanics.
 
I still remember seeing a lecture by the famous physical therapist, Jenny McConnell, from Australia back in 2015. Her videos of patients with patellar instability before and after rehabilitation were truly incredible. A team-based approach to these patients is ideal but not always possible. Nevertheless, I will follow this research closely.
