Video Summary

In this video, Petri Salampa from Finland discusses trochlea dysplasia management in patellofemoral surgery. Salampa explains that the severity of the J sign is indicative of trochlea dysplasia, and trochleoplasty is often the only surgical solution for habitual dislocation or tight J sign. Different surgical techniques for trochleoplasty have been described, including deepening trochleoplasty and thin flap trochleoplasty. Salampa prefers a lateral approach mini-opentrochleoplasty, a thin flap technique that corrects the inclination angle and utilizes lateral retinacular lengthening. He presents positive post-operative results, including improved trochlea contour, corrected tracking, and successful cartilage healing. Salampa suggests deepening trochleoplasty as a first-line treatment for young patients with trochlea dysplasia.
