Abstract:【Objective】 To explore the clinical results of arthroscopic treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation in adolescents. 【Methods】 Between June 2002 and August 2009, 25 adolescent patients with recurrent patellar dislocation underwent arthroscopic treatment, and 21 of them (22 knees, 12 left and 10 right) completed the follow-up, The disease course was 3 to 116 months (mean 28.5 months). All patients experienced 2 to 6 episodes of dislocation. All patients had patellar instability sense and knee arthralgia during strenuous exercise. Before operation, all the patients showed positive apprehension test. Every case underwent X-ray examination, some people underwent CT or MRI scan. The preoperative Q angle was (14.3±2.7)°. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm scores were (44.3±3.3)and(55.7±3.7) respectively. All patients underwent arthroscopic MRP (medial retinacular placation) and LRR(lateral retinacular release) minimally invasive procedure. 【Results】 All incisions werehealed without complication. All the patients were followed up 24-54 months (32 months on average). The range of motion returned to normal. There was no recurrence of dislocation during follow-up. At 24 months after operation, 3 patients showed positive apprehension test, the Q angle was (15.4±2.5)°, and the difference of thigh circumferences was(1.2±0.43)cm; the IKDC score and Lysholm score were(72.5±4.1)and(77.3±3.5). There were statistically significant differences between preoperation and postoperation (P <0.05). 【Conclusion】 Arthroscopic treatment (MRP plus LRR) can improve the limb function of adolescence with recurrent patellar dislocation obviously.
