Right knee Patella
I got the Tension Binding Wire (k wire) removed from my right Patella a month back. The final x-ray reports were absolutely normal according to the doctor. I could not do the physiotherapy exercises properly for the first 2 weeks till the stitches were removed. Now the shape of Patella seems to be slightly dislocated towards right compared to the shape of left leg. Is it normal? Is there any particular exercise for that? Kindly suggest
