The ‘two toe’ technique for femorofemoral bypass

چکیده
DISCUSSION In cases where the surgeon would prefer to resurface a defi cient patella because the option of retaining the host would lead to maltracking, we have found this technique to be reliable, versatile and cheap to overcome the otherwise complicated scenario of patella defi ciency. It avoids the risk of fracture by reducing the amount of bone that would otherwise be resected for a traditional fi xation, and obviates the need for more cumbersome and expensive augmented patella implants, which have a poor track record.4,5
