La osteotomía patelar coronal de la faceta externa asociada a liberación del retináculo lateral mejora los resultados clínicos de la liberación lateral aislada en el síndrome de compresión lateral de rótula

The results demonstrate that the described patellar osteotomy technique, combined with lateral retinacular release, significantly improves the pain and the functional scale score of patients with LKCS after 2 years of follow-up, to a greater extent than isolated lateral retinacular release, including those in which there was evidence of degenerative signs.
