摘要

Schematic illustration of the 4 steps of the SST procedure after 2010. The four steps of the SST-Procedure: a Releasing the lateral retinaculum. b Releasing a strip of the medial retinaculum and transferring the distal part as a loop around the quadriceps tendon after which it is attached to the proximal part. c Releasing the distal lateral quarter of the patella tendon and transferring it below the patella tendon to attach it to the medial side of the tuberositas tibiae. d Reefing the medial retinaculum
