The clinical outcomes of total vs. half patellar tendon transposition combined with robot-assisted medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction and extensive lateral release for the treatment of habitual patellar dislocation in adolescents
The combined procedures, which include extensive lateral release, total patellar tendon transfer, and robot-assisted MPFL reconstruction, can achieve good patellar tracking and stability in the treatment of HPD in adolescents, and may provide better clinical outcomes than the half patellar tendon transposition group.
