Abstract Purpose The association between the prevalence of patellofemoral arthritis (PFA) and femoral tunnel positioning following isolated medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr) has not been well described. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between femoral tunnel positioning and the prevalence of PFA. Methods Thi...

To investigate the rate of return to sports and sport psychological readiness between patients who underwent isolated MPFLR (iMPFLR) compared to a matched cohort of patients who underwent MPFLR with anteromedializing tibial tubercle osteotomy (MPFLR/TTO). Patients who underwent primary MPFLR with or without TTO for recurrent patellar instability we...

Medial patello-femoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is one of the therapeutic options to treat patellofemoral instability. Classically, a à la carte treatment of skeletal and ligament abnormalities is described. This option is difficult to achieve in children because bony procedures can damage the femoral and/or tibial growth plate. The objective...

Introduction. Patellar instability in younger patients is a common injury (3.3% of all knee injury episodes) and the most frequent dislocation of the knee observed. The sensitivity and reliability of clinical diagnostic tests after medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction remain unclear and biased. The primary aim of the present study w...

The purpose of this study was to assess the validity, floor and ceiling effects, and dimensionality of PROMIS Physical Function (PF) and Pain compared to legacy patient reported outcome (PRO) measures in patients undergoing medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. Patients who underwent MPFL reconstruction between 2018 to 2020 were ret...

The most common and biomechanically influential pathoanatomic risk factor for recurrent patellofemoral instability is trochlear dysplasia. Sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty is a procedure developed to address high-grade trochlear dysplasia in the setting of patellofemoral instability. The purpose of this paper is to outline the current classification...

Acute patellar dislocation is a common knee injury in adolescents and adults that is associated with a high incidence of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injuries. The aim of this network meta-analysis was to compare the different operative and non-operative protocols for the management of primary patellar dislocation (PPD). We searched Medlin...

Treatment of patellar instability remains up for debate, and a combination of tibial tubercle osteotomy and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr) of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) has become the mainstay treatment for recurrent lateral patellar dislocation. Due to limited small studies, there remains a variety of surgical...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of articular cartilage damage on outcomes following medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. Record review identified 160 patients who underwent isolated MPFL reconstruction at a single institution between 2008 and 2016. Patient demographics, patellofemoral articular cartilage sta...
