“…Even though femoral rotational osteotomies have been successfully performed for .100 years to treat patients with patellar instability, 2,4,7,8,11,16,19,23,34 there is still a general lack of knowledge on the topic of femoral torsion, and specific treatment recommendations are scarce. 14 While computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 33,36 have led to more precise measurements of the total femoral torsion, no clear information exists regarding the range of normal torsion or exactly where abnormal torsion exists in cases of pathologic femoral torsion leading to patellar instability.…”

“…The rational of this procedure is to place the femur under the patella instead of adapting the patella to the trochlea as in tibial tubercle osteotomy, since distal femoral alignment does not match to the proximal knee extensor apparatus 59 . This procedure however is rarely mandatory and its results controversial.…”

Patellofemoral instability not only involves lateral patellar dislocation, patellar mal-tracking or subluxation but can also cause a limiting disability for sports activities. Its underlying causes are known as morphological anomalies of the patellofemoral joint or the mechanical axis, femorotibial malrotation, variants of the knee extensor apparatus, and ligamentous insufficiencies often accompanied by poor proprioception. Athletes with such predisposing factors are either suffering from unspecific anterior knee pain or from slightly traumatic or recurrent lateral patellar dislocation Treatment options of patellar instability are vast, and need to be tailored individually depending on the athlete’s history, age, complaints and physical demands. Different conservative and surgical treatment options are reviewed and discussed, especially limited expectations after surgery.
