The purpose of this study was to investigate the mid\u2010term results and the incidence of postoperative patellar instability after Fulkerson procedure for recurrent patella dislocation, and to determine the radiologic predictor of the postoperative patellar instability.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sixty\u2010two knees of 41 patients underwent Fulkerson procedure with or without lateral retinacular release for recurrent patellar dislocation and were followed\u2010up for 85\u2013155\u00a0months. Predisposing anatomic factors for recurrent patellar dislocation were evaluated preoperatively, including valgus knee alignment (femorotibial angle), patella alta (Insall\u2013Salvati ratio), trochlear dysplasia (trochlear depth), lateral patellar displacement (congruence angle) and lateral malposition of the tibial tuberosity (tibial tuberosity\u2010trochlear groove distance). The relationship between the measurements of anatomic factors and postoperative patellar instability, which was defined by the patellar re\u2010dislocation or residual apprehension after surgery, was analyzed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The Fulkerson score and the Kujala score were significantly improved from the median of 65 (35\u201380) points and 68 (36\u201382) points preoperatively to 95 (60\u2013100) points and 92 (57\u2013100) points at the final follow\u2010up, respectively. Three knees (4.8%) experienced postoperative patellar re\u2010dislocation and 4\u00a0knees (6.5%) showed the positive apprehension sign at the final follow\u2010up.
