| Popis: |
The inveterate patellar dislocation is an uncommon entity. The most frequent findings correspond to a misaligned valgus associated with lateral patellar dislocation. When severe knee osteoarthritis is present, total knee arthroplasty is an option, whether it is associated or not with realignment of the extensor apparatus. We present a review of published literature on correction of inveterate patellar dislocation associated with knee arthritis and our surgical technique with a case of inveterate patellar dislocation associated with tricompartmental knee osteoarthritis, in which a total knee arthroplasty was performed associated with proximal and distal realignment of the extensor apparatus. Total knee arthroplasty is a useful procedure in knee osteoarthritis associated with inveterate patellar dislocation, which can be associated with techniques on the extensor apparatus to achieve an adequate patellar alignment. Keywords: Inveterate patellar dislocation, knee osteoarthritis, knee arthroplasty |
