Abstract
Trochlear dysplasia is the main anatomical risk factor for objective patellar instability. Surgical correction of trochlea dysplasia via a trochleoplasty has been described with good clinical results reported. Concerns remain for who have abnormal patellofemoral tracking post a trochleoplasty due to incongruence between the two articulating surfaces. We described a medial closing wedge patellar osteotomy to improve congruency of the patellofemoral joint post-trochleoplasty.
