Cartilage lesions of the patella: management after acute patellar dislocation. 2015

Adam V Metzler, and Christian Lattermann, and Darren L Johnson

Articular cartilage injuries to the patella are frequent after patellar dislocation. The management of these acute cartilage injuries in the acute setting can be challenging. It is well documented that acute fixation is the optimal choice for treatment of osteochondral injuries. This article discusses the challenges and potential treatment options for acute chondral/osteochondral injuries to the patella after acute patellar dislocation.
