Abstract
The lateral retinacular release has become a popular procedure for a variety of patellofemoral disorders; however, the results can be variable and the importance of a concerted effort at nonoperative treatment must not be overlooked. Using stringent criteria, the intermediate-term follow-up (2 to 10 years) by these authors demonstrated only 52 per cent acceptable results unless poor-risk patients are identified. Most factors associated with poor results can be determined before surgery, and most complications can be avoided. An organized and detailed approach to the patient with a failed lateral retinacular release is presented. Verf.-Referat
