Midterm Results of Comprehensive Surgical Reconstruction Including Sulcus-Deepening Trochleoplasty in Recurrent Patellar Dislocations With High-Grade Trochlear Dysplasia

Abstract

Sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty is a valid option for the primary surgical treatment of carefully selected patients with recurrent patellar dislocations with high-grade trochlear dysplasia type B and D. Concomitant etiological factors must be cautiously corrected in an associated procedure. Midterm follow-up showed satisfactory restoration of patellar stability and improvement of knee scores with no complication of subsequent arthritis.
