RESUMEN
The biological tissue is irradiated with laser light, and carbonization, incineration, evaporation, blood coagulation, protein denaturation, and photoactivation will arise in order of the strength of the reaction. LLLT is the application of those photoactivated biological effects. In this paper, effective pain relief, photoactivation effect on chondrocytes, and, PDT (photodynamic therapy) using photosensitizer are introduced.

There are many procedures to treat recurrent patellar subluxations and dislocations. Most of these procedures are open repairs for acute conditions or open reconstructions for chronic conditions, and both surgeries need large skin incisions. Although there are many arthroscopic procedures for meniscal and ligament injuries, there are very few arthroscopic procedures described for patellofemoral instability. In this report, we describe a new arthroscopic method to stabilize the patella for acute dislocation. Our technique includes an arthroscopic lateral release and a medial structure repair. We suggest that this procedure is minimally invasive and easier than traditional open procedures. Moreover, this may prevent patients from developing chronic instability of the patellofemoral joint.
