摘要

Dislocation of the patella has been long recognized, although recurrent dislocation more recently so. Hippocrates appears not to have mentioned recurrent dislocations [10, 11]. A number of mid-19th century surgeons described patellar dislocation [2, 7, 15], but not those that were recurrent. Goldthwait [6], in 1896, briefly described one patient with long-standing bilateral recurrent dislocation in whom he performed lateral release and medial reefing. The minutes of a meeting of the orthopaedic subsection of the Royal College of Medicine in discussion, held in March 1921, noted that Bristow briefly mentioned a procedure in which the tibial tubercle was transplanted medially [1]. "He would suggest that transplantation of the tubercle with the tendon attached was a better procedure than transplanting the tendon alone, the union of bone to bone being better able to combat strain."
