Treatment of Recurrent Patellar Dislocation Using Langenskiold Reconstruction of the Patella, Grammont Patellar Slide, and Percutaneous Distal Femur and Distal Tibia/Fibula Osteotomies
摘要
Patellofemoral instability in the younger child can be challenging. Patients generally have an underlying condition, and treatment with the Langenskiold and Grammont procedures can be successful. Potential associated deformities including femoral anteversionFemoral anteversion, distal femoral valgus, patella alta, proximal tibial valgus, and external tibial torsion should all be evaluated and treated.
