Abstract des Autors
The major technical pitfalls in performing patellofemoral surgery stem from improper patient selection, unrealistic patient expectations, and inappropriate rehabilitation. Proper patient selection requires the physician to spend additional time communicating with patients to obtain a comprehensive history and to perform a thorough physical examination. Patients' expectations can be realistic if appropriate time is devoted to patient education. A commitment to undertake a comprehensive postoperative rehabilitation program before proceeding with any surgical procedure helps to enhance patients' success. Verf.-Referat
