LATERAL DISLOCATION OF THE PATELLA

Simultaneous transplantation of the tibial tubercle and semitendinosus tendon for correction of lateral dislocation of the patella is a rational procedure, and not technically difficult. In twenty-three consecutive cases, there has been no recurrence of the dislocation, and satisfactory function has been maintained in all cases. Various other procedures, previously described, have failed to give the same satisfactory results in our hands.
