Knee surgery for patellar realignment

In this procedure, the provider incises or divides the tight lateral retinaculum, a band of fibrous tissue on the outer side of the knee that supports the patella in its position against the thigh's femur bone beneath it. The provider most commonly performs this procedure to treat patellar subluxation or partial dislocation. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
