“…Some dancers exhibit signs of "lateral patellar facet syndrome." 22 These dancers have pain on repetitive loading of the knee, for example during jumping, plié, squatting, and climbing stairs. They usually have associated tightness of the iliotibial band and the lateral patellar retinaculum, as well as weakness of the quadriceps medially.…”

“…Reported rates of success of the lateral patellar retinacular release are consistently around 85% in selected patients. 22 The indication for lateral release is determined by assessing the lateral patellar malposition and maltracking with physical signs, radiographic criteria, and direct visualization during arthroscopy. During surgery the lateral retinaculum is released from the joint line to the level of the vastus lateralis muscletendon junction.…”

Individuals involved in the care of the young dancer must understand the etio-logic effects of growth, flexibility, and anatomical alignment on injuries. This article presents an approach to injuries in young dancers and discusses some specific injuries, particularly involving the lower extremities and the spine. Aspects of injury assessment and prevention include attention to each dancer's specific anatomy, proper technique, careful progression of skills, and monitoring the volume and intensity of dance training. Management of the dancer begins with identifying the specific anatomic diagnosis. It is important to be familiar with the demands of dance and the patterns of pain commonly associated with specific injuries. This knowledge helps differentiate between injuries that may be treated non-operatively from those that require further investigations and interventions.
