Abstract
The author reviews the material of habitual patellar dislocations that passed through Lexer's clinic over 2 years. All cases were operated according to Whitelock's method: a skin incision is made along the medial surface of the knee joint; the distal tendon end of m. gracilis is separated from its attachment, passed under m. sartorius and sutured to lig. patellare. The author saw good long-term results in all cases.
