The authors have followed up for than 2 years, 22 cases of lateralised femoro-patella arthrosis treated by recentering of the patella. They confirm the value of this operation and emphasize the necessity of controlling the precise position of the patella during the operation. They also believe that one should avoid, especially if the treated arthrosis is not too advanced, perfect reaxation which may favour progressive narrowing of the joint space, once weight beraring is allowed and which may be the origin of the secondary functional degradation of this series.

Article Synopsis
- Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is a rare genetic condition marked by issues with nails, knee dislocation, and the presence of iliac horns, and this report documents its first diagnosis coinciding with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
- A 74-year-old man, who had a previous knee dislocation and other joint pain, was diagnosed with both RA and NPS after imaging and tests showed typical symptoms of both conditions.
- The patient was treated successfully with methotrexate and a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, leading to remission and underscoring the importance of recognizing NPS in similar clinical contexts.

Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) or hereditary onycho-osteodysplasia is a relatively rare autosomal dominant disorder with the classic tetrad of fingernail abnormalities, hypoplastic patellae, radial head dislocation and iliac horns. The anatomic abnormalities in NPS often lead to subluxation or dislocation of the patellaeca causing knee instability and pain. Although most existing literature regarding the knee manifestation of this syndrome has focused on the clinically and radiological changes, only a few articles discussed the surgical treatment.

Introduction: Numerous procedures may be used in the surgical treatment of patellar instability. We have noticed that certain types of patellar instability result in a bulge (or protrusion) of the distal medial facet of the patella which can hinder recentering in the trochlear groove.
Hypothesis: In certain patellofemoral dysplasias, trimming down of this bulge (patelloplasty) as long as it is associated with a "à la carte surgery" program, can improve stability, centering and lateral patellar tilt.

Introduction: Distal femoral varus osteotomy (FVO) can be indicated for young active patients who have lateral unicompartmental osteoarthritis in a valgus knee originating in the femur. However, its indication remains controversial when associated patellofemoral osteoarthrosis is present.
Hypothesis: Associated patellofemoral osteoarthrosis influences the results of osteotomy in cases of lateral tibiofemoral osteoarthrosis.

Anteromedialization of the tibial tubercle (Fulkerson operation) predictably leads to pain reduction and better function in initial and moderate patellofemoral arthritis. This has been shown in the literature and is supported by our own results. The indication is based on symptoms, clinical evaluation, X-rays, and MRI.
