when other procedures have failed to obtain
patellofemoral stability. Recession wedge
trochleoplasty is a simple and safe procedure
which seems to be effective in providing
patellofemoral stability and pain relief. Our
attitude is to perform recession wedge
trochleoplasty never in isolation but in
association to realignment of the extensor
apparatus according to the “à la carte” surgery
concept.
