[Habitual patella dislocation and Goldthwait's surgery].
In this study 17 patients with recurrent dislocation of the patella were followed up 10 years after Goldthwait-operation. The subjective and clinical findings were excellent rsp. good in 70%, whereas the x-ray findings showed osteoarthritis of the femoropatellar joint in 60%. Concerning the aetiopathological factors we found an increased external torsion of the afflicted extremity measured by computed tomography.
