Medial patellar subluxation (MPS) is a disabling, often iatrogenic patellar instability due to previous lateral release for patellar instability. Lateral release destabilizes the patella on the lateral side, worsening the initial lateral instability and causing MPS. MPS is poorly recognized and may range from subluxation to true dislocation. This report describes a technique developed in response to episodes of medial and lateral patellar subluxation after failed lateral release for patellar ins ...[more]
