Abstract EN
Axial alignment of the femur and tibia is often misdiagnosed in patients with patellofemoral stability problems.
Femoral torsion is critical for patellofemoral biomechanics, so it must be evaluated in every patient before the plan of surgery is decided.
This case describes a femoral derotational osteotomy due to excessive internal torsion of the femur fixed with a retrograde femoral nail.
This type of fixation provides a biomechanical advantage compared to plates.
At the two-year follow-up, the patient achieved excellent results, reaching a functional score of 91 points on the Lysholm scale.
Derotational femoral osteotomy should be considered in patellofemoral pathology, and a retrograde femoral nail is a valid fixation method for this surgery.
