Context:

Review of 57 arthroscopic lateral release procedures performed between January 1985 and December 1988.
Focus on knee-joint surgeries with a high percentage of indications for patellar chondropathy.

Purpose:

To analyze the indications and outcomes of arthroscopic lateral release for knee conditions.
To emphasize the importance of strict surgical indications and postoperative management.

Summary:

The primary indication for this procedure was chondropathy affecting the patella and patellofemoral joint.
Eight cases of traumatic patella luxations were also included in the review.
Findings underscore the need for precise patient selection and comprehensive rehabilitation protocols.
