Medial Patella Femoral Ligament Reconstruction With Periosteal Tunnels and Suture Fixation.

ABSTRACT: Lateral patellar dislocations can damage the medial patella femoral ligament. Nonoperative care is preferred but some tears may require a surgical intervention. Patella fractures are considered a risk factor after surgery. The technique described in this Technical Note avoids any bone tunnel drilling, which may eliminate the possibility of a patella fracture. The surgical procedure uses periosteal fibro-osseous tunnels to a double-limbed gracilis graft to reconstruct the upper and lower borders as conventionally used for medial patella femoral ligament reconstruction. Once the graft is tensioned, it is sutured to the periosteal fibro-osseous tunnel with 2 sutures on the medial side and at least 1 suture on the lateral side of each periosteal fibro-osseous sleeve. Each of the 2 periosteal fibro-osseous tunnels has 3 to 4 sutures securing the graft. After surgery, the patients complete 5 phases of rehabilitation to reduce swelling and to regain their strength and range of motion.

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: Use of All-Suture Anchors for Patellar Fixation and a Dynamic Femoral Attachment.

Project description:The medial patellofemoral ligament is one of the most relevant structures preventing patellar dislocation. Numerous surgical techniques have been described to reconstruct this structure and patellar biomechanics. Complications after this procedure concern both patella and femur. This technique avoids tunneling the patella and the use of intraoperative radiographs by using the adductor magnus tendon insertion.

Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction procedure using a suspensory femoral fixation system.

Project description:Recurrent patellar dislocation has recently been treated with anatomic medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction using a semitendinosus muscle tendon. Although it is necessary to add tension to fix the tendon graft without loading excess stress on the patellofemoral joint, adjustment of the tension can be difficult. To resolve this problem, we developed an MPFL reconstruction procedure using the ToggleLoc Fixation Device (Biomet, Warsaw, IN), in which the semitendinosus muscle tendon is folded and used as a double-bundle tendon graft and 2 bone tunnels and 1 bone tunnel are made on the patellar and femoral sides, respectively. The patellar side of the tendon graft is fixed with an EndoButton (Smith & Nephew, London, England), and the femoral side is fixed with the ToggleLoc. Stepless adjustment of tension of the tendon graft is possible by reducing the size of the loop of the ToggleLoc hung onto the tendon graft. It may be useful to position the patella in the center of the femoral sulcus by confirming the patellofemoral joint fitting. Stability can be confirmed by loading lateral stress on the patella in the extended knee joint. This procedure is less invasive because opening of the lateral side of the femur is not necessary, and it may be useful for MPFL reconstruction.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Femoral Loop Button Fixation Technique.

Project description:Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a common procedure used to treat both acute and chronic patellar instability. Although many variations of MPFL reconstruction have been described, there is no consensus regarding the optimal surgical technique. We describe a technique for MPFL reconstruction with a looped gracilis tendon autograft using suture anchors to secure the graft to the patella and a suspensory loop button system for fixation to the femur. This technique replicates the native shape of the MPFL while minimizing the risk of patellar fracture and allowing for gradual tensioning of the graft.

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.

Medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament: surgical anatomy and reconstruction technique to prevent patella instability.

Project description:Detailed anatomic dissections of the deep medial knee retinaculum have shown a consistent prominent anatomic structure extending from the distal deep quadriceps tendon to the adductor tubercle region, forming a distinct medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament (MQTFL). Reconstruction of this anatomic structure has yielded consistent medial stabilization of the patellofemoral joint without drilling into the patella over more than 3 years in patients with recurrent patella instability and dislocation. Results are similar to those of MPFL reconstruction but with reduced risk of patella fracture, a known and serious complication of MPFL reconstruction. The reconstruction graft is secured at the anatomic femoral origin of the MQTFL and brought under the vastus medialis such that it may be woven and attached to the deep distal medial quadriceps tendon to provide a secure, reliable reproduction of the MQTFL and excellent stabilization of the patellofemoral joint without risk of patella fracture.

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.

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.

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.

A Patella-Sided Tensioning Technique for Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction

Project description:Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is a common procedure for treatment of recurrent patellofemoral instability. Over the last two decades, multiple surgical techniques for MPFL reconstruction have been described with no clear consensus on a superior reconstruction technique. Appropriate graft tensioning is one of the most important factors for a successful MPFL reconstruction. Overtensioning of the MPFL graft can lead to patellofemoral joint overload and undertensioning can lead to recurrent instability. Current literature demonstrates descriptions of MPFL reconstruction with final graft tensioning performed off of the femoral side. We describe a technique in this article for performing final graft tensioning from the patellar side, which gives the surgeon an option for intraoperative tension adjustments after evaluating patellar tracking.
