Dislocation of the patella in a patient with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome – a case study.
Journal Title: Ortopedia Traumatologia Rehabilitacja - Year 2011, Vol 13, Issue 5
Abstract
The Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is a rare syndrome of congenital disorders whose etiology is still unknown. Most RTS patients have musculoskeletal abnormalities which, if untreated, may significantly affect independent mobility. This paper presents the results of a surgical treatment of a 13-year-old patient with RTS and instability of the patellofemoral joint. The patient was followed up for 3 years. Surgery resulted in complete pain relief, increased knee range of motion and marked improvement in the patient’s gait. An extensive plasty of the extensor apparatus of the knee joint increases the likelihood of a good and lasting treatment result in patients with RTS and instability of the patellofemoral joint.
