A 28-year-old patient that received attention at the Orthopedic Service of the Provincial General Teaching Hospital of Morón for presenting pain of various weeks of evolution in her left knee is presented. She was diagnosed an inveterate patella luxation and surgery was suggested. The surgical treatment consisted in patellar chondrectomy with perforations of the subchondral bone and proximal and distal alignment of the extensor mechanism of the knee by means of Campbell’s technique and a combination of Hauser and Maquet’s bone techniques with taking of bone graft of the homolateral iliac crest. No immediate or late complications were reported. Six months later, the patient was able to walk satisfactorily without pain.
