Patella baja is a rare knee condition causing stiffness and pain in the knee's front, often resulting from injury, immobilization, or surgery.
The main issue is the thickening and shortening of the patellar ligament, and there isn't a standard treatment approach for it.
A case involving a 73-year-old woman with knee stiffness after total knee replacement showed significant improvement following a new soft tissue surgical technique, boosting her knee function score from 16 to 81 and facilitating her return to daily activities.
