Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Recurrent dislocation of patella of knee joint is uncommon condition which may result in sudden lateral dislocation of patella when the knee joint is flexed. It may be caused due minimal trauma, with an underlying pathology in the extensor mechanism of the knee joint. Anatomically vastus lateralis may be hypertrophic, vastus medialis may be deficient, patella may be small(dysplastic). The treatment options differ for each case, like proximal realignment procedure, distal realignment procedure or combined. A male boy aged 14 years presented with Recurrent dislocation of patella of right knee due to dysplastic patella. We have treated him with proximal realignment procedure by Insall Techniqu. The patient recovered well with good stability of the patella. Inall procedure is simple and effective technique which can be done by any other orthopaedic surgeon when it is indicated.
