Both knee caps now removed

I have just had my right knee cap removed (No replacement) and I had my left one done in 1998 (No replacement) and I will be starting physio in 4 weeks time after the plaster is removed.

But I was just wondering about my chances of walking permanently? I have had reasonable control with the left knee but a lot of muscle wastage, and I was wondering if anyone was a bit of an expert in this area or who had come across this problem before and could give me advice?

Thanks

Nick

Why were your patellae removed?

It has been dislocating all the time, up to 30 times a day and I had previous surgery on both knee caps to help them out but to no success
