Abstract
Arthroscopic patellar denervation has shown promising clinical results in the treatment of young patients with AKP, with or without minimal malalignment recalcitrant to conservative treatment. The substantial benefits, the considerable comfort for the patient, minimal risk and low rates of morbidity, made this technique a comfortable procedure for the patient. Therefore, arthroscopic patellar denervation might be a reasonable first surgical step in patients with AKP resistant to conservative therapy. Moreover, arthroscopic patellar denervation might become a beneficial addition to other surgical methods for treating AKP.
