Objective patellar instability is a pathology which, without being rare is not very common. It concerns the teenager and the young adult, with a female prevalence. This pathology is the consequence of multiple factors of an osseous nature, capsulo-ligamentaires and muscular.

By this study, we report the analysis of the medical files of four patients who are taken in charge by the service of Traumatology-Orthopedy II of the HMIMV of Reduction, for an objective patellar instability during 2 years (2018-2019). We made an approach of this affection, so as to show through the achieved results the importance of a precise radiological analysis in the choice of a surgical strategy, associating osseous gestures and others on the soft parts while holding account of the age of the patients and the degree of the dysfunction.
