“…The net effect of patellar facetectomy is decompression of the LPFJ and functional lengthening of the lateral retinaculum. 3 The lateral retinaculum contains a high density of nerve endings, and decompression is believed to relieve the source of notable pain. 35 , 36 The desired outcome of this procedure is symptom relief rather and possible improvement of PFJ mechanics.…”

“…2 Lateral patellar facetectomy can be used as a nonarthroplasty alternative surgery for isolated patellar OA of the lateral facet. 3 The anatomy of the LPFJ is less well described than medial patellofemoral joint soft-tissue structures, and a summary of lateral-sided operations has not previously been published. This review outlines the LPFJ anatomy and biomechanics, as well as techniques and clinical outcomes of lateral-sided surgical techniques.…”

The lateral patellofemoral joint soft tissues contain key structures that surround and balance the joint. These structures can affect joint tracking, stability, and force distribution. It is important to understand the lateral patellofemoral anatomy and biomechanics, and their relationship with patellofemoral instability, anterior knee pain, and osteoarthritis. Lateral-sided surgical procedures such as lateral release, lateral retinacular lengthening, and partial lateral patellar facetectomy can be useful in the treatment of such patellofemoral problems.
