| Core Tip |
Assessment of inferior patella dislocation should focus on the patella position, any fractures and the condition of the extensor mechanism. Closed reduction is possible in type 2 injuries (vertical orientation from osteophyte locking), however, success is dependent on the depth and size of the osteochondral defect and degree of patella rotation. Open reduction is recommended for type 1 (horizontal type) due to associated soft tissue injury which can be repaired. In type 2 injuries open reduction is recommended with large osteochondral defects requiring smoothing and or debridement, large osteophytes requiring resection or removal of intra-articular loose bodies. |
