title: [Therapeutic measures in subluxation and dislocation of the patella].
abstract: The pathology of patella dislocation is divided into different groups: primary, secondary, recurrent dislocation and patella subluxation. In the diagnosis, in addition to clinical and X-ray investigations a certain computerized tomography extended on the SEG examination. A new examination of the EG tomographs had increased the diagnostic facilities. Our therapeutical program is based on physical therapy. After failure of physiotherapy to achieve satisfactory results the operation technique according to Slocum and Larson is performed.
