Getting knee surgery? Need tips? I just spent the past 6 and a half weeks recovering from an MPFL reconstruction and a Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy. Here are some of the things I did right.

Why did I need knee surgery? I needed knee surgery to help with the frequent dislocations and constant instability in my kneecap. A large part of this was due to my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (more info below), but also due to my external tibial torsion and femoral anteversion.

WHAT’S EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME?
The Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are a group of more than 13 genetic connective tissue disorders that affect the joints and ligaments, blood vessels, gastrointestinal tract, and autonomic nervous system, among others. The most common type of EDS is hypermobile EDS (hEDS), which used to be known at type III. Some of the most common symptoms and co-morbidities of hEDS include chronic joint pain, joint instability and dislocations, dysautonomia, and GI tract dysmotility.
