Very low dislocation rate and good clinical outcome after Bereiter trochleoplasty and additional procedures following the Copenhagen patella–femoral instability algorithm: One‐ and two‐years outcomes from a consecutive cohort of 368 cases

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Patello–femoral instability (PFI) is often caused by predisposing factors, with trochlea dysplasia (TD) as the most prominent. Untreated patellar instability leads to impaired function and an increased risk of patellofemoral osteoarthritis.
