Surgical treatment was performed with a single complex procedure with the release of the lateral retinaculum, capsule, and iliotibial tract, followed by a subtraction trochleoplasty, tibial tubercle transfer, elongation of the quadriceps tendon, and anatomical reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament. At the 5-year follow-up, the patient had a significant improvement in gait pattern, with the patella centered on the new trochlear groove without any signs of patellar instability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The approach of congenital dislocation of the patella is controversial, and although numerous procedures have been described in children, the approach in adults should be individually tailored.
