Lateral Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction With a Gracilis Allograft.

ABSTRACT: Isolated medial patellar subluxation (MPS), in the absence of a previous lateral retinacular release, is a poorly recognized clinical condition characterized by chronic anterior knee pain that is exacerbated with knee flexion. This type of patellar instability is often overlooked, and a high index of suspicion is needed for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a surgical technique to reconstruct the lateral patellofemoral ligament with an allograft gracilis tendon. By restoring stability to the lateral side of the patella, this minimally invasive technique successfully treats cases of isolated MPS.

Double-Bundle Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction With Allograft.

Project description:Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is the treatment of choice for recurrent patellofemoral instability. Although attention to MPFL reconstruction in the orthopaedic literature has increased dramatically in recent years, there is no clear consensus on surgical technique, graft option, or method of fixation. Nevertheless, most studies have shown improved pain scores and low rates of recurrent dislocation in patients after surgery. Despite the early success of MPFL reconstruction, complications may occur more frequently than previously appreciated and include patellar fracture, postoperative instability, and loss of flexion. This article describes our technique for double-bundle MPFL reconstruction with an allograft while highlighting certain aspects of the procedure that are critical for achieving favorable outcomes. The main advantages of the technique include strong patellar fixation with suture anchors and anatomic graft placement at the origin and insertion of the native MPFL. In our experience, this method of reconstruction has been safe, reproducible, and effective in the treatment of patients with patellar instability.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction With Concomitant Lateral Patellofemoral Reconstruction for Patellar Instability.

Project description:Patients with bidirectional patellar instability who are unresponsive to conservative management may benefit from a medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction and lateral patellofemoral ligament (LPFL) reconstruction. If an isolated MPFL reconstruction does not provide adequate stabilization intraoperatively, combined MPFL and LPFL reconstruction allows independent reconstruction, which can be performed with a facile, reproducible technique. The purpose of this report was to describe our technique for performing an MPFL reconstruction with a concurrent soft-tissue LPFL reconstruction combined with a distalizing tibial tubercle osteotomy to correct patella alta.

Lateral Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Quadriceps Tendon Graft.

Project description:Medial patellar subluxation (MPS) is normally described after a lateral retinacular release. However, isolated MPS in the absence of a previous lateral release does occur. This type of patellar instability is often overlooked, and a high index of suspicion is needed for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. This report describes a technique developed in response to episodes of isolated MPS. The technique uses a partial-thickness graft from the quadriceps tendon to reconstruct the lateral patellofemoral ligament and provide stability to the lateral side of the patella.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using Achilles Tendon Allograft With Bone Block.

Project description:Recurrent patellar instability is a common problem and often leads to a tear of the medial patellofemoral ligament. Multiple reconstruction techniques for the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) exist. This Technical Note presents a technique for performing MPFL reconstruction using Achilles tendon allograft with a bone block. The advantages of this technique include (1) bone-to-bone healing in femoral tunnel; (2) docking the bone block in the femoral tunnel obviates the knee for calculating graft and tunnel length; (3) fixing the femoral side before the patellar side allows graft tensioning under direct visualization and avoids over-constraint; (4) the fanned portion of the Achilles tendon allows broad-based MPFL footprint coverage on the medial patellar ridge; and (5) it avoids the need for bone tunnel drilling in the patella, reducing the risk to penetration of the drill holes into the articular cartilage surface as well as the risk for patellar fracture.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction and Lateral Retinacular Lengthening from a Lateral Approach.

Project description:The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is frequently torn and attenuated in patients with acute or chronic patellar instability. The mainstay for surgical treatment has become MPFL reconstruction to reestablish the checkrein to lateral patellar translation. The authors describe a technique for MPFL reconstruction with concomitant lateral retinacular lengthening with a gracilis allograft and adjustable loop cortical femoral fixation performed chiefly from a lateral parapatellar approach. This technique allows for reliable retensioning of the medial and lateral patellar soft tissues while avoiding complications associated with techniques that use interference screw fixation. Successful execution of this procedure provides a strong MPFL construct that allows patients to undergo early aggressive rehabilitation and return to activities.

Surgical Technique for Obligate Flexion Patellar Dislocation: Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction, Distal Femoral Osteotomy, Quadricepsplasty, and Lateral Retinacular Reconstruction with Dermal Allograft.

Project description:Lateral patellar dislocation is a relatively common pathology that can be surgically treated with a medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. In rare occurrences patients can present with patellar maltracking that results in obligate patellar instability in flexion but central tracking in extension. This presentation can be much more complicated to treat surgically and may require a combination of multiple patellofemoral procedures. In this technique we describe a four-pronged treatment approach for improving patellar tracking in a patient with obligate flexion patellar dislocation and valgus malalignment including VY quadricepsplasty, distal femoral osteotomy, medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, and lateral retinacular and capsular reconstruction with a dermal allograft.

Simultaneous medial and lateral patellofemoral ligament reconstruction for combined medial and lateral patellar subluxation.

Project description:Medial patellar subluxation (MPS) is a disabling, often iatrogenic patellar instability due to previous lateral release for patellar instability. Lateral release destabilizes the patella on the lateral side, worsening the initial lateral instability and causing MPS. MPS is poorly recognized and may range from subluxation to true dislocation. This report describes a technique developed in response to episodes of medial and lateral patellar subluxation after failed lateral release for patellar instability. The technique uses a graft that extends from the medial patellofemoral ligament origin through the quadriceps tendon to the lateral epicondyle, thereby reconstructing both the medial and lateral patellofemoral ligaments, as well as providing simultaneous stability to both the medial and lateral sides of the patella.

Combined Medial Patellofemoral Ligament and Medial Patellotibial Ligament Reconstruction for Recurrent Lateral Patellar Dislocation in Flexion.

Project description:Recurrent lateral patellar dislocation can be a challenging entity to manage. It results from an imbalance between the restraints to lateralization of the patella and the forces applied to the patella within the biomechanical environment of the knee. The medial patellofemoral ligament has been recognized as the most important static soft-tissue restraint. However, the medial patellotibial ligament and medial patellomeniscal ligament are important for patellar stability at higher degrees of knee flexion. Lateral patellar dislocation in flexion poses a particularly challenging clinical entity with a combination of unique characteristics that need to be addressed to achieve optimal patellar tracking and stability. In this technical note, we describe a combined medial patellofemoral ligament and medial patellotibial ligament reconstruction technique to address lateral patellar dislocation in flexion.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction and Lateral Retinacular Lengthening in the Skeletally Immature Patient.

Project description:Patellar instability remains a ubiquitous and troublesome problem in orthopaedics and represents a challenge in the pediatric population. Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) has become a mainstay of patellar instability management in recent years. As with any procedure at or around the physes, there is concern among surgeons regarding safe placement of hardware and drilled tunnels. The authors describe a technique for anatomic MPFL reconstruction with the aid of fluoroscopic guidance to maintain a "safe zone" without violating the distal femoral physis. This technique allows for reliable MPFL reconstruction in the skeletally immature population with concomitant lateral lengthening, while requiring only minor deviations from the procedure in a skeletally mature patient.

Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using an autograft or allograft for patellar dislocation: a systematic review.

Project description:PurposesThe purpose of this study is to review the use of an allograft or autograft in medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction.Materials and methodsVarious electronic databases were searched for relevant articles published from January 2000 to September 2017 that evaluated clinical outcomes of MPFL reconstruction using an autograft or allograft. Data search, extraction, analysis, and quality assessments were performed based on Cochrane Collaboration guidelines.ResultsThe study of 21 autografts and one allograft was included in this review. Although direct comparative studies were unavailable, the Kujala score and subjective results were reported in the majority of these studies. While the use of an autograft for MPFL reconstruction yielded satisfactory clinical outcomes with few perioperative complications, no new outcome has been drawn from the use of allografts.ConclusionsAlthough many studies have shown favorable clinical results for MPFL reconstruction using an autograft, the clinical results of MPFL reconstruction using an allograft have not yet been sufficient to achieve meaningful clinical results due to low levels of evidence. Direct comparisons were not conducted because there were very few studies on allografts; thus, further research in this area should be performed in the future.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s43019-019-0008-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
