Abstract:
Congenital dislocation of the patella is a rare clinical entity and is considered to result from a failure in internal rotation when the myotome develops, which forms the femur, the quadriceps muscle, and the extensor mechanism. Several authors have suggested various treatment methods, but there has been no consensus on treatment. A 12-year-old boy complained of knee pain and presented with a deformity due to bilateral congenital dislocation of the patella. The patient was treated with surgical management using the Stanisavljevic procedure. We report this case of congenital dislocation of the patella treated with this procedure that achieved a stable patellofemoral joint and satisfactory clinical results over 6.5 years of follow-up. In addition, we have included a review of the relevant medical literature.
