Roux-Goldthwait and Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction for Patella Realignment in the Skeletally Immature Patient.

ABSTRACT: Surgical management of patellofemoral instability is technically challenging in skeletally immature patients. Special considerations in this population include activity and sports limitations, recurrence rate, risk of long-term injury to patellofemoral cartilage, and potential for physeal disruption with operative intervention. Numerous procedures have been described to address causative pathoanatomy in the patellofemoral joint, as well as its static and dynamic stabilizers. We describe our technique of combined medial patellofemoral ligament and modified Roux-Goldthwait reconstruction to address both proximal and distal malalignment in a skeletally immature patient with open physes.

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.

Polyethylene Suture Augmentation of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament in Skeletally Immature Patients with Recurrent Patella Dislocation.

Project description:In skeletally immature patients with recurrent patella dislocation that needs operation, how to increase the medial stability of the patella effectively without disturbance of the epiphysial plate is of concern. Through evaluation of multiple techniques that designed to avoid injury to the epiphysial plate, we found that medial patellofemoral ligament augmentation with high-strength nonabsorbable sutures is feasible and effective. Thus, we would like to describe this technique, whose critical point is the correct location and creation of the 2 femoral tunnels. We consider the introduction of the current technique will provide reasonable choices when operation is needed in this special group of patients.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using Dual Patella Docking Technique.

Project description:Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injuries are common in children and young adults. In patients with recurrent patellar dislocations with normal lower-extremity alignment, anatomic reconstruction of the MPFL has been shown to restore patellar stability. We describe a technique that creates an anatomic reconstruction using a dual docking technique into the patella. Our technique is simple and efficacious for reconstructing the MPFL without implant fixation in the patella, allowing a maximal bone-tendon interface for healing.

Patella Footprint Technique-A Surgical Method for Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Recurrent patella instability is a common condition that may potentiate substantial knee dysfunction resulting in loss of time from work and sports. There are numerous factors that contribute to recurrent patella instability including tearing of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), shallow trochlea, valgus alignment, externally rotated tibia tubercle, ligamentous laxity, elevated Q angle, and increased tibial tuberosity trochlear groove distance. Reconstruction of the MPFL has been shown to restore patella stability where concomitant pathology is within acceptable limits. Major complications include recurrence from inadequate MPFL reconstruction or failure to address other pathology, patella femoral pain from over constrained MPFL or unaddressed cartilage defects to the patella femoral compartment, or patella fracture. This technique provides a reproducible method of restoring patella stability through MPFL reconstruction while minimizing stress risers in the patella by using suture anchor fixation that creates a ligamentous footprint instead of tendon healing into a socket on the patella.

Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction: a new technique for graft fixation at the patella without implants.

Project description:Patellofemoral instability is a complex disorder that is often accompanied by insufficiency or tearing of the medial patellofemoral ligament. Over the past few years, several techniques using free tendon grafts for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction have become popular because of their reproducible effect and good outcome. Whereas most surgeons prefer femoral fixation of the graft using an interference screw, the possibilities of patellar fixation are numerous. All of the different techniques have their own advantages and pitfalls. We describe a technique in which we drill 2 blind-ending tunnels (1 cm) at the medial aspect of the patella, where the doubled graft (not the free ends) is pulled in and fixed. By using a special technique for shuttling the sutures, there is no need for an additional skin incision and no need for implants, allowing very secure graft fixation without a relevant risk of fracture.

Reconstruction of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament.

Project description:Patellar instability has been shown to be associated with different major factors. However, studies have demonstrated that soft tissue reconstructions are adequate enough to reestablish patellar constraint. In recent years, the medial patellofemoral ligament has been recognized as the primary passive restraint for lateral translation of the patella. Their reconstruction has gain popularity as the procedure is quite simple and fast. Although several surgical techniques have been described for their reconstruction, no clear consensus has been reached as to which is best. We present an implant-free, medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction technique that uses a gracilis tendon autograft, 2 bone convergent tunnels at the original patellar attachment, and looping the graft around the adductor magnus tendon that is used as a pulley for femoral fixation.

Anatomic Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Without Bone Tunnels or Anchors in the Patella.

Project description:Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction is an essential component of surgical treatment for recurrent dislocation of the patella. Various techniques have been described, most of which potentially increase the risk of patellar fracture. We present a new technique for anatomic medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction without using suture anchors or patellar tunnels, therefore, eliminating the risk of iatrogenic patellar fracture and making a revision procedure easier in case of failure.

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.

Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction with semitendinosus autograft.

Project description:Patellar instability is a common complaint after traumatic dislocation of the patella. Traumatic dislocation always leads to tearing of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). Treatment consists of recovery from the traumatic injury, followed by reconditioning and physical therapy to strengthen the dynamic stabilizers of the patella. In patients with recurrent instability, detailed evaluation of the cause is required to determine the needed interventions. In patients with an incompetent MPFL and recurrent instability, reconstruction is indicated, along with other procedures to address other contributing factors. This article details our technique for MPFL reconstruction using semitendinosus autograft, which can be performed alone or in concert with other realignment procedures.

Simultaneous Medial Patellofemoral Ligament and Medial Quadriceps Tendon-Femoral Ligament Reconstructions Using an Artificial Ligament for Lateral Patella Instability.

Project description:Recent studies on the detailed anatomy of the medial patellar stabilizer have revealed that the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) not only attaches to the patella but also has fibers that attach to the quadriceps muscle, known as the medial quadriceps tendon femoral ligament (MQTFL). Reconstruction of the medial stabilizer for patellar dislocation that includes both the MPFL and MQTFL may achieve better anatomical and physiological correction. In this Technical Note, we will describe a simultaneous reconstruction technique of the MPFL and MQTFL for patellar dislocation using an artificial ligament.
