When is Trochleoplasty a Rational Addition?
SPORTS MEDICINE AND ARTHROSCOPY REVIEW(2019)
Abstract
Trochlear dysplasia has been recognized as a dominant anatomic risk factor in patients with recurrent patellar instability. Sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty is a very effective and powerful procedure for correcting trochlear dysplasia and, specifically, eliminating the supratrochlear spur. However, it must be emphasized that trochleoplasty is not appropriate for patients with mild trochlear dysplasia or those without a large supratrochlear spur or bump. We discuss the characteristics and classification of trochlear dysplasia and discuss specific indications for sulcusdeepening trochleoplasty.
