Overview

Case report demonstrates long-term functional improvement from surgical management of patellar dislocation in an adolescent, suggesting MPFL plasty is crucial.

Key Points

  • Patient achieved full range of motion and stability after complex surgical management of patellar dislocation.
  • IKDC score increased from 10.3% to 75.9% at eight-year follow-up, indicating significant improvement.
  • Multifactorial surgical management included femoral and tibial osteotomies and medial patellofemoral ligament plasty.
  • Highlights the importance of addressing anatomical and functional abnormalities for sustained outcomes.
