Patellodesis

Patelladesis is a condition in which the kneecap (patella) dislocates. This causes the patella to move posteriorly and upward, which can lead to pain, limited mobility, and other problems.

Causes of patellodesis can vary, including injury, arthritis, muscle spasms, and other conditions. Treatment for patellodesis may include conservative methods such as physical therapy, massage, and surgery.

With conservative treatment, it is recommended to wear special orthopedic shoes, which help fix the patella in the correct position. Corticosteroid injections may also be used to reduce inflammation.

Surgical treatment of patellodes involves fixing the patella to the femur using special implants. This method allows you to restore the normal position of the patella and reduce pain.

Overall, patellodes is a serious disease that can lead to serious consequences. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor promptly and begin treatment.

Patellodesis is a variant of lateralization of the patella with its extension by extensor muscles, which occurs by breaking the attachments of the patellar muscle and the long head of the biceps femoris muscle to the anterior part of the patella bone, relative to the lower pole of the periosteum of the patellofemoral joint. This development option is quite rare, occurring in approximately 2-4% of patients with patellar dislocation. Clinically it manifests itself as a painful dislocation, and if spontaneous reduction is impossible, patello- and, less commonly, rotidesis develops. Treatment is described and consists of revision of the pathology of the hip joint in combination with patellectomy surgery.

With the exception of adduction, normally during loading the patella is supported by the ligamentous apparatus. With patellosis, significant extension or hyperextension of the patella bone in the hip joint occurs. In more than 70% of cases, pathological patellar shift is caused by damage to the femoral-patellar tract. Femoral osteotomy above the head of the patella or complete removal of the patellar cartilage (Davis procedure) is indicated for severe conditions. Pathological hypertrophy or overextension of the patellar tendon fibers can be caused by direct trauma (pulling), chronic instability of the knee joints, or chronic inflammation. Patellodesis may complicate arthroscopic resection of the medial head of the femoral factor due to intra-articular ruptures of individual superficial fibers. These most severe variants are associated with a complete rupture of the anterolateral
