Overview
The aim of this study is to assess outcomes of MPFLR With Fascia Lata Allograft, Based on Isometry Assessment Combined With Elmslie-Trillat Tibial Tuberosity Osteotomy.
Description
Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) injury occurs in more than 95% of lateral patellar dislocations. Most of these injuries result in subsequent lateral patellar instability. Therefore, MPFL reconstruction (MPFLR) is often necessary. The aim of this study is to assess outcomes of MPFLR With Fascia Lata Allograft, Based on Isometry Assessment Combined With Elmslie-Trillat Tibial Tuberosity Osteotomy.
The primary outcome consists of The International Knee Documentation Committee Questionnaire (IKDC), the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and retear rate.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Lateral patellar dislocation with subsequent instability
- Failure of non-operative treatment
Exclusion Criteria:
- Active inflammation of the knee;
- Previous surgeries on the patellofemoral joint;
- Fractures around the knee
