ABSTRACT

Arthroscopically-assisted medial placation is a surgical variety used in patients with poor patellofemoral alignment. 44-year-old, white female patient, with previous health history of concerns, refers pain at the anterior aspect of her left knee for about a year. She has been treated with analgesics, NSAIDs multiple times and several rehabilitation therapy sessions with very limited response to her symptoms. Release of the lateral retinaculum accompanied by medial plication was performed on this patiente. This technique is described by steps. Assisted arthroscopic medial plication is a simple procedure which does not require long learning curve and it has a minimum of complications.
