Arthroscopic Lateral Retinaculum Release for Knee Pain

The provider examines the inside of the knee joint with an arthroscope to assess the fibrous tissues that hold the patella, or kneecap, in place. The provider incises the lateral retinaculum, the tight band of tissue on the outer aspect of the patella, to release excessive constriction that causes pain.
