Sažetak
Tightness of the lateral patellar soft tissue complex could be isolated entity or associated with other patellofemoral disorders such as patellofemoral dysplasia, lateral patella instability, medial patellofemoral ligament injury and chondromalatia. Lateral retinacular release was a method of choice among orthopaedic surgeons for improving the patellofemoral balance and congruency regardless the etiology of patellofemoral disorders. Biomechanical and clinical studies have shown that nonselective use of this surgical method could cause numerous complications among which medial patellar instability is the worst. Today most orthopaedic surgeons prefer lengthening instead release, because lateral lengthening is a more precise technique, with reduced complication rates.
