Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Arthroscopy

Background:

  • Lateral patellofemoral osteoarthritis frequently affects young, active individuals.
  • Conservative treatments may be insufficient for restoring knee function and enabling return to sport.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the arthroscopic technique for partial lateral patellar facetectomy.
  • To provide a minimally invasive alternative to open procedures for knee osteoarthritis.

Main Methods:

  • Arthroscopic partial lateral patellar facetectomy using anterolateral and anterior superolateral portals.
  • Preoperative planning for 10-15 mm bone resection, including osteophytes and the lateral patellar facet.
  • Intra-articular evaluation and dynamic assessment for optimal patellar tracking.

Main Results:

  • The arthroscopic approach allows direct visualization of bone for resection.
  • Surgeons can precisely finetune bone resection and improve patellar tracking.
  • Avoiding arthrotomy may reduce patient morbidity and facilitate faster rehabilitation.

Conclusions:

  • Arthroscopic partial lateral patellar facetectomy is a viable, minimally invasive surgical option.
  • This technique offers advantages in visualization and intraoperative adjustment.
  • It potentially leads to reduced morbidity and quicker recovery for patients with lateral patellofemoral osteoarthritis.
