Editorial Commentary: Despite Decades of Research on Patellar Instability, the Isolated Lateral Release Endures.
Arthroscopy 2022 Februrary
Surgical management of patellar instability has transformed over the last 40 years as our understanding of contributing anatomical factors, particularly medial patellofemoral ligament insufficiency, has matured. The International Patellofemoral Study Group recently concluded with 89% agreement that lateral release should not be done in isolation for patellofemoral instability. And yet, with 11% dissent, controversy remains, and the isolated lateral retinacular release for patellar instability continues to be favored by a subset of surgeons. In my opinion, lateral retinacular release may have a role in the rare situation in which laterally based capsuloligamentous tightness has led to focal patellar compression, but in the setting of patellar instability, lateral release should not be used alone as a solution for patellofemoral instability.
