Five patients received a concomitant medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. Three patients had prior patella stabilization surgeries. Trochlea dysplasia (Dejour classification), Caton\u2013Dechamps index, tibial tubercle trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, patellar tilt and lateral condylar index were measured in preoperative MRIs. Clinical and functional evaluation included the Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale, the Lysholm Knee Score, the Tegner Activity Score, a subjective evaluation form and isokinetic muscle strength.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Four patients had a Dejour type A dysplasia, two patients had no dysplasia.

One patient was lost to follow up, all others were followed for 2\u20135\u00a0years. All patients were satisfied with the clinical outcome. The Lysholm score increased from 55 (37\u201379) to 89 (76\u2013100), the Tegner activity score from 3.6 (2\u20136) to 5.6 (5\u20137). The Kujala score postoperative was 90 (75\u201396).
