摘要
The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is considered the primary soft tissue restrain to lateral translation of the patella during the first 15-30 degrees of knee flexion. The primary restraint thereafter is the slope of the lateral wall of the trochlea. A plenty of procedures are described in literature for MPFL reconstruction with different types of graft, angle of knee flexion for fixation and rehabilitation protocols. In this study we used MPFL reconstruction with doubled autologous gracilis tendon with the Schottle's technique. The aim of our study is to evaluate outcomes at medium-long term follow up of MPFL reconstruction.Patients who underwent arthroscopic MPFL reconstruction for recurrent patellar dislocation were followed up for a minimum of 2 to 10 years. Patient-reported outcomes including the Kujala, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score were collected preoperatively and postoperatively. Clinical complications such as loss of ROM, recurrent sub-luxation or dislocation were recorded.A total of 38 patients with recurrent patellar dislocation were treated with MPFL reconstruction and data were available for final follow up (mean 72.3 months, SD 33.6). Mean age at time of surgery was 23.4 (SD 7.8). Mean number of dislocations before surgery was 7.1 (SD 10.5). Recurrent dislocations were not observed in any of the patients treated at last follow-up. Significant clinical improvements were also noted with Kujala and VAS score. Patellar tilt angle decreased significantly from pre to post-operative.Our study demonstrated that MPFL reconstruction with patellar suture anchors fixation using autologous gracilis tendon is an effective, safe and reliable method for treating recurrent patellar dislocation.
