Total knee arthroplasty in a pseudoachondroplastic dwarfism patient with bilateral patellar dislocation

Abstract

Late presentation of congenital patellar dislocation with advanced osteoarthritis is rare. This article presents a case of a 59-year-old man with underlying pseudoachondroplastic dwarfism. Advanced osteoarthritis due to bilateral neglected congenital patellar dislocation was treated with total knee arthroplasty without patella relocation surgery. Two years later, the patient had an improvement in Knee Society scores, painless function, and stability. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
