Patellar dislocation is a condition that is often reduced by itself or through closed manipulation from a trained professional. In this case of a traumatic lateral patellar dislocation, the patella was caught through the rupture in the lateral retinaculum, as is seen in Boutonniere‐like lesions. Reduction of the dislocated patella was obtained by arthroscopic reduction. Level of evidence V.
