The results of lateral retinacular release were evaluated in 28 patients with idiopathic chondromalacia patellae. Follow-up was performed 3-5 years after the operation. At follow-up 13 patients were improved, while the symptoms were equal or intensified in 15 patients. However, compared with the situation before the operation, the levels of activity were increased in only two patients, while the levels of activity were unchanged or reduced in the remaining 26 patients. From this study it is concluded that the results of lateral retinacular release for idiopathic chondromalacia patellae are poor with regard to relief of symptoms, and especially with regard to improvement in ability to perform physical activities.
对28例特发性髌骨软骨软化症患者的外侧支持带松解术结果进行了评估。术后3至5年进行随访。随访时，13例患者病情改善，而15例患者症状无变化或加重。然而，与手术前的情况相比，只有2例患者的活动水平有所提高，其余26例患者的活动水平未变或下降。从这项研究得出结论，外侧支持带松解术治疗特发性髌骨软骨软化症在缓解症状方面效果不佳，尤其是在改善身体活动能力方面。
