The mean follow-up was 6.3 years. Depending on the type of surgical intervention, the patients were assigned to 3 different groups: the patients of group 1 underwent only the Green vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) advancement, group 2 was treated with a combination of the Green proximal and the Roux-Goldthwait distal realignment, and group 3 was treated with a combination of the Green proximal realignment and an additional tubercle transfer. All patients underwent clinical, radiological, and electromyographic examinations. The muscle activities of a healthy control group without patellar dislocations were used for comparison.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A combination of the Green procedure and tubercle transfer led to significantly better clinical results and a lower number of redislocations (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .05) compared with patients who underwent only the Green proximal realignment.
