Abstract
Deepening trochleoplasty is a very rare procedure in the objective patellar dislocation group. It concerns only patients with high grade trochlear dysplasia types B or D and abnormal patellar tracking. It is part of the “menu à la carte” which leads to the correction of the anatomical abnormalities, one by one. The technical procedure is highly demanding and prone to complications. It is, however, very effective in providing stability.
