"Patella baja and infrapatellar contracture syndrome are one of the worst conditions for a patient to have and for a physician to treat." These were the words of my first knee specialist doctor.

I was diagnosed with patella baja and infrapatellar contracture syndrome in July of 2001. This came 11 mos after my horseback riding accident, where I broke my tibia and fibula in 4 places. I developed arthrofibrosis of my knee, after the nailing procedure thru my knee, to repair the tibia fractures.
