In total, seven patients were evaluated: four males and three females were operated using the proposed technique. Pa...
متن کاملPediatric Orthopaedics Patellar instability in children and adolescents
Patellar instability is a common occurrence in the skeletally immature patient population, and multiple treatment options exist. Nonoperative treatment is appropriate for patients without osteochondral injuries and includes bracing and physical therapy focusing on strengthening of the gluteals as well as the vastus medialis obliquus muscles. Risk factors for recurrent instability include patell...
متن کاملA Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of the Significance of the Distal Femoral Physis During Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction
BACKGROUND Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction in adults often utilizes screw fixation in the distal femur. The aim was to define the safety of similar fixation in young patients, with respect to their open physis. PURPOSE To define the age-related relationship between the femoral insertion of the MPFL and the medial aspect of the distal femoral physis on magnetic resonance i...

متن کاملMedial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Reduces Radiographic Measures of Patella Alta in Adults
Background Patellar height has long been considered a risk factor for patellofemoral instability. However, recent pediatric literature demonstrated a reduction in patellar height measurements following medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. Purpose To assess the mean change in patellar height and the percentage of skeletally mature patients with patellar height ratios reduced t...
