Abstract: BACKGROUND: Patellar dislocation is more common in young female patients, and it is a common cause of adolescent knee pain. For the treatment of patellar dislocation, clinical treatment is divided into surgical treatment and conservative treatment. Surgical treatment generally chooses the medial patellofemoral ligament revascularization. Postoperative recurrence of dislocation may be due to failure to correct risk factors, which requires combined osteotomy and orthopedic treatment. In this way, the anatomical structure of the bone can be changed and the skeletal deformity can be corrected. However, it is still controversial in clinic whether patients need to undergo tibial nodule osteotomy and orthopedic surgery before surgery. |
