[Modified bridle-plasty in recurrent luxation of the patella].
For local operative correction of slipping patella, we recommend a modified plasty of the patellar retinaculum apparatus. This simple operation can even be performed on adolescents with still open epiphyseal cartilages. The technique of our operation is described. The early results during the last 30 months are very good. None of our 20 patients noted a reluxation, and all have resumed their sports.
