Modified Adductor Sling Technique- a surgical therapy for patellar instability in children and adolescents

摘要

Aims and Objectives:Due to open femoral physis, the therapy of patellar instability in children and adolescents is challenging. We developed a surgical technique, modified form of the "Adductor-Sling-Technique" by Sillanpää which offers a surgical treatment to avoid damage to the femoral physis. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a benefit in the clinical outcome for patients operated by the "modified Adductor Sling Technique" in comparison to patients with other surgical procedures.
