  • Title: [Results of treating recurrent dislocation of the patella by the Garlick-Salamon method].
    Author: Wasikowski A, Wołowski M.
    Journal: Chir Narzadow Ruchu Ortop Pol; 1990; 55(2):127-30. PubMed ID: 1369932.
    Abstract:
    The Garlicki-Salamon method consists in isolation of the patella ligaments, loosening of the lateral pulleys, medial and downward transposition of the patella ligament insertion, wrapping of the medial joint capsule, and transfer of the m. vastus medialis insertion to the medial-upper quadrant of the patella. The late follow-up (at least 5 years of observation) was carried on in 26 knees. 4 results were excellent, 10 -- good, 8 -- fair, 4 -- poor. In nine cases (35 per cent) development osteoarthritis of the patello-femoral joint was found. Recurrence of dislocation was found in 4 cases.
