Abstract
Management of patellofemoral conditions in children and adolescents can be extremely challenging. Apart from the patellofemoral instability patients, there are several other disorders that can cause significant morbidity, patellofemoral maltracking, patellar tilt, and Hoffa's fat pad impingement syndrome are common problems that may not respond to nonoperative management. Understanding the exact pathology and apply the appropriate management is critical for successful outcome. Identification of novel surgical interventions that can provide symptom relief in a safe manner is important. This technical note describes a surgical technique for patella realignment in young patients that combines safety, simplicity, and reproducibility.
