Abstract
Open resection through a limited lateral incision for the treatment of patellar clunk syndrome associated with patellar tilt in total knee arthroplasty is described. The procedure is done under local anesthesia. Dynamic flexion and extension of the knee during surgery ensures that correct patellar tracking has been restored.
