Os autores avaliaram a evolução de 17 pacientes que tiveram luxação femoropatelar aguda e foram tratados pela sutura do ligamento femoropatelar medial. A sutura do ligamento foi feita por via artroscópica em 9 pacientes que apresentaram a lesão do ligamento próxima à patela. Nos oito pacientes restantes a lesão do ligamento femoropatelar ocorreu próxima ao epicôndilo femoral e foi tratada pela reinserção no epicôndilo femoral com âncoras. Os pacientes foram acompanhados por um tempo médio de 40 meses e não houve nenhuma recidiva da luxação femoropatelar durante este período.The authors evaluated the evolution of seventeen patients with acute patellofemoral dislocation. Patients were treated through medial patellar ligament suture. The suture of the ligament was performed by arthroscopy in nine patients with ligament lesion near to the patella. The other eight patients, with patellofemoral ligament lesion occurring near to the femoral epicondyle, were treated by reinsertion at the femoral epicondyle with anchors. The patients had a mean follow-up period of forty months and there was no femoropatellar dislocation recurrence.
