Wide Patellar Insertion Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction with Internal Bracing.

ABSTRACT: Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a common procedure to address MPFL deficiency. Various techniques have been reported, with the best method still being pursued. Previous studies have revealed the advantage of internal bracing and possible advantage of wide patellar insertion in MPFL reconstruction. Thus, we would like to introduce a technique that combines the internal bracing and wide patellar insertion in MPFL reconstruction, in which the critical points are proper location of the patellar and femoral tunnels and proper tensioning of the augmenting sutures and the whole graft complex. Our clinical experience indicates that the proper application of this technique can lead to satisfactory clinical outcome. We consider the introduction of this technique will provide more insight to MPFL reconstruction.

A Simple Technique for Reconstruction of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament With Patellar Soft-Tissue Fixation Using Synthetic Suture Tape Internal Bracing.

Project description:Recurrent patellar dislocation is most commonly treated with an isolated medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using autograft tissue. Harvest and fixation of these grafts have some theoretical disadvantages. With this Technical Note, we aim to describe a simple reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament using high-strength suture tape with a soft-tissue fixation on the patellar side and an interference screw fixation on the femoral side, avoiding some of these possible disadvantages.

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.

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.

Double-bundle medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction with a single patellar tunnel.

Project description:Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is an established method to prevent patellofemoral instability. Nevertheless, the anatomy and the biomechanical behavior of native MPFL are still under investigation, but in recent years they have become more defined. We propose a technique for MPFL reconstruction based on the results of recent anatomic studies regarding the patellar insertion of the MPFL. A double-bundle MPFL is reconstructed by use of the semitendinosus tendon passed through a single patellar tunnel, which crosses the patella from the midpoint of its medial border until its superolateral corner is reached. This method permits a strong patellar fixation, potentially reducing the risk of patellar fracture compared with double-patellar tunnel techniques. Moreover, it requires no fixation devices at the patella and only a single interference screw on the femoral side.

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.

Combined Medial Patellofemoral Ligament, Medial Quadriceps Tendon-Femoral Ligament, and Medial Patellotibial Ligament Reconstruction for Patellar Instability: A Technical Note.

Project description:Lateral patellar dislocations often occur in a young, athletic population of recurrent dislocators with generalized laxity and an interest in returning to an active lifestyle. A recent appreciation for the distal patellotibial complex has directed surgeons toward attempting to re-create the native anatomy and knee biomechanics during medial patellar reconstructive procedures. By reconstructing the medial patellotibial ligament (MPTL) in addition to the medial patella-femoral ligament (MPFL) and medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament (MQTFL), the current article describes a potentially more stable construct that can be utilized in patients with subluxation with the knee in full extension, patellar instability with the knee in deep flexion, genu recurvatum, and generalized hyperlaxity. Additionally, the current technique utilizes a tibialis anterior allograft. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe, in detail, the current authors' technique for a combined MPFL, MQTFL, and MPTL reconstruction.

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.

Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction: a technique with a "v"-shaped patellar tunnel.

Project description:Patellofemoral dislocation is a common problem affecting the young and active population. The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is torn when the patella dislocates as it acts as a checkrein to lateral displacement. This leads to patellar instability, and MPFL reconstruction is required if the dislocation recurs after a trial of rehabilitation. We describe a "V"-shaped patellar tunnel technique to reconstruct the MPFL using an autologous gracilis graft. This modification of the patellar tunnel does not breach the lateral cortex of the patella, and it allows a broader attachment of the tendon graft to the patella, which mimics the normal anatomic attachment of the MPFL to the patella.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using All-Soft Suture Anchors for Patellar Fixation.

Project description:The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), which is critical for both patellar stability and normal kinematics of the patellofemoral joint, is disrupted in most patellar dislocations. Consequently, MPFL reconstruction is advocated in recurrent dislocations to restore native patellar constraints. Fixation of the MPFL graft to the medial border of the patella can be achieved through various methods, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. We present a technique for MPFL fixation to the patella using all-soft suture anchors, theoretically decreasing the risk of patellar fracture and articular surface violation.

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.
