RESUMO
CASE: A 55-year-old man with Down syndrome (DS) suffered from chronic irreducible right patellar dislocation. Imaging studies showed an attenuated appearance of the medial patellar retinaculum, and the tibial tubercle to trochlear groove distance measured 1.6 cm. Right medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) and lateral lengthening (LL) with proximalization of the tibial tubercle (PTT) were performed with good surgical outcomes. CONCLUSION: The combination of MPFLR, LL, and PTT is a viable option for treating a skeletally mature DS patient with patellofemoral instability causing recurrent patellar dislocation.
