Abstract
A 22-year-old woman presented with problems with both knees. On the right, she had recurrent patellar dislocation, and on the left, the patella was dislocated throughout knee flexion. The left knee was the main problem and had been worsening over the previous 4 years. She had her first dislocation when she was 15 years old and a subsequent arthroscopic lateral release aged 18 years old. The knee was painful and swollen. There was no family history of patellar dislocation. Her Kujala score was 16.
