Early surgical treatment of acute patellar dislocation

Abstract

Analysis of surgery for acute primary lateral dislocation of the patella is presented. There were 20 patients with acute trauma. Mechanism of injury and principles of examination are given. Authors are the active supporters of early surgery, preferring arthroscopic treatment with primary suture of med. retinaculum (Yamamoto technique) with lateral release. Special attention is given to the treatment of patellar dislocation complicated by osteochondral fractures. In 17 patients long-term results have been assessed with a 3 months — 5 years follow-up. Fifteen of the patients have excellent and good results.
