title: [Treatment of patellar instability in children and adolescents].
abstract: To address recurrent patellar instability in children and young adolescents a variety of therapeutic options exist either as non-operative or operative treatment. Recent options, such as reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament have evoked a new focus of attention on this topic. The intention of this article is to present diverse therapeutic options and to evaluate them by reference to the current literature.
