Surgical treatment of patellar dislocation in children with Down syndrome: a 3- to 11-year follow-up study

Abstract: We report results of surgical treatment of ten knees affected by patellar dislocation in six children with Down syndrome. Four knees showed a dislocatable patella (grade III according to Dugdale), two a dislocated reducible patella (grade IV) and four a dislocated irreducible patella (grade V). Symptoms included frequent falls, limping and pain. In all the cases a Roux-GoldthwaitCampbell procedure was performed. Mean age at surgery was 10 years (range 6 years and 6 months to 13 years and 4 months). Patients we… Show more

“…[4] Ek olarak son dönemde ileri kuadriseps gevşetme ve V-Y uzatma gibi yöntemler de denenmeye başlamıştır. [9] Bu yöntemler başarılı bir şekilde kullanılmasına karşın, patella alt bölgesinde belirgin deformite gelişmiş ise başarılı olamazlar. Böyle bir durumda, semitendinöz tenodezi, patellar tendon transferi veya proksimal patellar gibi yeniden dizilim ameliyatları kullanılabilir.…”

“…Böyle bir durumda, semitendinöz tenodezi, patellar tendon transferi veya proksimal patellar gibi yeniden dizilim ameliyatları kullanılabilir. [4,9,10] Böylece kemik dizilimi hasta iskelet büyümesini tamamlayana kadar korunur. Seçilen tedavi yöntemi ne olursa olsun, eğer tedaviden tatmin edici sonuç alınmak isteniyorsa, standart bir kuadriseps rehabilitasyon programı uygulanması şarttır.…”

Conservative treatment is the main indication, especially after a traumatic episode, but in case of symptom recurrence, surgery is indicated [6].…”
