Through a detailed clinical case study, Dr. Wylie reviews patient history, physical examination findings, radiographic and MRI evaluation, and the biomechanical principles that guide surgical decision-making. The presentation also provides a step-by-step visual overview of the surgical technique, highlighting key anatomical considerations, operative procedures, and postoperative rehabilitation protocols. This video offers valuable insights for orthopedic surgeons, residents, fellows, and other healthcare professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of patellofemoral surgery.
