This combined surgical approach has a high rate of success for patients with patella alta, recurrent lateral patellar instability, severe focal chondral lesions, and increased TT-TG distance. Moreover, 26 out of 27 patients (96.3%) reported total satisfaction. Therefore, we conclude that although this procedure combination is not simple, it is a safe, reproducible, and alleviates pain at 24 months postoperatively, and significantly improves functional scores.
