 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 21 Traditional surgical treatment of combined distal femur angioplasty of congenital dislocation of the patella young Abstract of the traditional surgical treatment of combined distal femur forming method of teenagers with congenital dislocation of the patella and to evaluate its effectiveness. [Method] From October 1996 ~ August 2004, using traditional operation (lysis lateral knee, medial joint capsule tightening surgery, vastus medialis muscle transposition only points, only points within the patellar tendon transfer surgery, semitendinosus tendon switch operation) Joint femur angioplasty for the treatment of congenital dislocation of the patella in 21 cases, 13 cases were males, 8 females, average age 11 years (6 to 18 years). 17 cases of unilateral dislocation of the patella, 4 cases were bilateral (both only treat one side), non-associated with other knee abnormalities. [Results] 21 patients received combined surgery and all recovered well. Follow-up of 2 to 6 years, an average of 3.5 years, no re-dislocation of the patella occurred without complication. Are able to fully straighten the knee in 21 cases, 17 cases of knee flexion good (120 ° ~ 150 °), 4 mild knee joint flexion is limited (100 ° ~ 120 °), and normal gait. [Conclusion] young people with congenital dislocation of the patella is a rare malformation, should the early diagnosis and early surgical treatment, or prone to patellofemoral arthritis, the traditional surgical treatment of combined distal femur forming young people with congenital dislocation of the patella results were satisfactory . Keywords: dislocation of the patella joint surgery Abstract: [Objective] To explore the method of combined traditional surgery with plasty of femoral inferior extremity for the treatment of congenital dislocation of patella in adolescent and to estimate the result. [Method] Totally 21 adolescent with congenital dislocation of patella were treated with the method
