Abstract:
A 29-year-old physically active patient presented with recurrent right-sided patellar dislocation. Clinical and radiological investigation showed patellar instability with stable cruciate and collateral ligaments, excess internal rotation of the right femur, as well as trochlear dysplasia. Treatment consisted of trochleoplasty in combination with medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction.
