Does trochlear dysplasia require surgery?
Trochlear dysplasia is a condition where the trochlear groove is abnormally shaped, causing the patella to slip out of the groove or dislocate. Trochleoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the trochlea to prevent patellofemoral recurrent instability, and associated pain and disability.
How many people have trochlear dysplasia?
Trochlear dysplasia has been shown to be present in < 2% of the population but in over 85% of people with recurrent patellofemoral instability.
