ABSTRACT

Patients who suffer from the recurrent patellar dislocation mainly show the recurrent dislocation of patellar, giving way, most patients have the history of trauma or dysplasia of keen joint. Traditional therapies of recurrent patellar dislocation include medical retinaculum placation, lateral retinaculum release, tibial tubercle osteotomy, femoral trochleoplasty etc. In recent years, with the development of anatomical and biomechanical researches on medial patellofemoral ligament(MPFL), more and more experts focus on the role of MPFL played in preventing the patellar dislocation. The treatment of recovering and correcting patellar tracking through MPFL reconstruction has been increasing gradually. However, till now, there was no therapy which could heal the recurrent patellar dislocation completely. The specific therapies of recurrent patellar dislocation are combination therapies, decided according to the anatomical and biomechanical conditions of patients, for recovering the stability of patients' patellar, the lower limb alignment and the function of keen-joint.
