Abstract
A 36-year-old medical secretary with recurrent left patellar dislocation since the age of 15 years old was sent for a second opinion. The original injury occurred when playing hockey where she had twisted her knee on the planted foot. The patella had reduced spontaneously. The knee was then treated in a cylinder plaster of Paris cast. Subsequently, the knee returned to functionally normal. She was able to return to her sports at the same level.
