Lateral release.

An operation which attempts to correct things when the kneecap (patella) is pulled over too much to the outer (lateral) side by a tight set of structures (called the retinaculum).  The retinaculum is cut, and the kneecap should return to the right position.

Also called lateral retinacular release.
