Medial Patellofemoral Complex Advancement for Recurrent Lateral Patellar Instability and Selective Acute Primary Patellar Dislocations.

ABSTRACT: Medial patellofemoral complex (MPFC) is considered as the primary medial patellar restraint and has a static, as well as dynamic, component. MPFL reconstruction (MPFL-R) restores only the static component of MPFC, is associated with multiple technical concerns, and has a steep learning curve. Need for physeal sparing techniques and relatively high rates of complications including patella fracture are some other concerns with MPFL-R. We propose a simple procedure for advancement of MPFC onto patella, which is indicated in most of the recurrent lateral instabilities (with a positive lateral glide test result and an intact MPFL on magnetic resonance imaging). The procedure is also indicated in selective acute primary dislocations-those with associated chondral lesions and magnetic resonance imaging-documented isolated patellar side avulsion/injury. MPFC advancement is a more anatomical procedure that also restores dynamic medial checkrein of patella and can be performed even by a novice surgeon. MPFC advancement is devoid of the multiple technicalities of MPFL-R, does not require intraoperative imaging or any postoperative immobilization, and renders complications like donor graft-site morbidity and patella fractures irrelevant. It requires no modifications in patients with open physes and can be performed in isolation or with other procedures as per à la carte principle.

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.

Sulcus-Deepening Trochleoplasty and Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction for Recurrent Patellar Instability.

Project description:There are multiple etiologies for recurrent patellar instability. While patella alta, an elevated tibial tubercle trochlear groove distance, and prior lateral patellar dislocations with medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) insufficiency have been shown to be risk factors for recurrent patellar instability, trochlear dysplasia can result in a significant impediment to normal patellar tracking. With the adequate identification of risk factors, appropriate surgical treatments can be individually tailored to the patient. We present a combined surgical technique of a sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty using knotless suture anchors for fixation, with MPFL reconstruction using gracilis autograft through short, oblique patellar bone tunnels to address severe trochlear dysplasia.

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 Closing-Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy with Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Imbrication for Genu Valgum with Lateral Patellar Instability.

Project description:A varus-producing distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) is an effective technique for the treatment of lateral patellar instability (LPI) in patients with concomitant moderate to severe valgus malalignment. Patellar maltracking and subluxation are corrected via neutralization of some of the laterally directed forces on the patella due to the valgus deformity. This can be accomplished with a distal femoral lateral opening-wedge or medial closing-wedge osteotomy and medial soft tissue stabilization. A medial closing-wedge osteotomy offers the advantages of immediate weight bearing and a single incision in cases requiring patellofemoral soft tissue stabilization. In this article, we describe our preferred operative technique for a medial closing-wedge DFO using a femoral locking plate and medial patellofemoral ligament imbrication for the correction of LPI.

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.

Precise Arthroscopic Mini-trochleoplasty and Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction for Recurrent Patellar Instability With Severe Trochlear Dysplasia.

Project description:More than 100 surgical procedures have been reported to address recurrent patellar instability. Trochlear dysplasia is the most common finding among the anatomic risk factors for recurrent patellar instability. Various studies have shown that trochleoplasty combined with medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction is an effective technique to treat recurrent patellar instability. Nevertheless, trochleoplasty is still a daunting procedure for surgeons because of its multiple and gloomy complications. This article introduces a technique to treat recurrent patellar instability with severe trochlear dysplasia: precise arthroscopic mini-trochleoplasty (PAM trochleoplasty) combined with medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. This technique precisely removes the supratrochlear spur and trochlear bump, accurately reshapes the trochlear sulcus with minimal invasion and less osteotomy volume, and keeps the sulcus cartilage intact. The purpose of this technique is to develop trochleoplasty into a common and safe technique, which has good outcomes and low complications.

Lateral patellotibial ligament reconstruction for medial patellar instability.

Project description:Medial patellar instability, though infrequently recognized, can be a disabling complication of a lateral retinacular release. Patients with persistent anterior knee pain and instability after lateral release should be evaluated closely. If evidence of increased medial patellar translation is identified on physical examination, a trial of reverse McConnell taping should be prescribed. If there is noted improvement in symptoms after this taping trial, reconstruction of the lateral patellotibial ligament should be considered. This article details our technique for lateral patellotibial ligament reconstruction using iliotibial band and patellar tendon autografts.

Patellofemoral Joint Reconstruction for Patellar Instability: Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction, Trochleoplasty, and Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy.

Project description:Recurrent patellar instability can be very debilitating and may require surgical intervention. A thorough workup must be completed in this subset of patients. Risk factors for recurrent instability include patella alta, trochlear dysplasia, an increased tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance, and insufficiencies in the medial retinacular structures. Necessary treatment of these risk factors, once identified, should be addressed surgically. Patellofemoral reconstruction must be individually tailored to each patient's anatomy and may necessitate medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, tibial tubercle osteotomy, or trochleoplasty in any combination or as a standalone procedure. This article details our technique for surgical treatment of recurrent patellar instability with a medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, an open trochleoplasty, and a tibial tubercle osteotomy for patients with severe trochlear dysplasia, an increased tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance, or patella alta.

Deep Transverse Lateral Retinaculum Reconstruction for Medial Patellar Instability.

Project description:Medial patellar instability can be a disabling complication of an extensive lateral retinaculum release. It is often overlooked, and for the diagnosis, it is necessary to have a high index of suspicion. Typically, the patient feels a new pain and new instability after the lateral retinaculum release that are distinct from, and much worse than, those before surgery. All of our patients had significant relief from their pain with "reverse" McConnell taping. If there is a significant improvement in symptoms after this taping and stress radiographs or stress axial computed tomography scans show an objective pathologic medial patellar displacement, reconstruction of the lateral retinaculum should be considered. This article details our technique for reconstruction of the deep transverse layer of the lateral retinaculum using an anterior strip of the iliotibial band. This strip is detached from its insertion onto the Gerdy tubercle and then reflected proximally beyond the level of the lateral femoral epicondyle. Finally, it is attached either by direct suture to the remaining prepatellar and peripatellar retinaculum if there is adequate tissue present or by a suture anchor.
