A member asked:
In general what is treatment for concavity of the contour of the inferolateral patella due to injury in a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The implication would be that it is a post-traumatic finding as in a fracture. If the fracture is well aligned, could be treated in cast or brace, if displaced, then surgical reduction and fixation may be required. We would usually obtain comparison views to the other side as well.
