چکیده
We investigated the clinical and radiological outcome of trochleaplasty for recurrent patellar dislocation in association with trochlear dysplasia in 38 consecutive patients (45 knees) with a mean follow-up of 8.3 years (4 to 14). None had recurrence of dislocation after trochleaplasty. Post-operatively, patellofemoral pain, present pre-operatively in only 35 knees, became worse in 15 (33.4%), remained unchanged in four (8.8%) and improved in 22 (49%). Four knees which had no pain pre-operatively (8.8%) continued to have no pain. A total of 33 knees were available for radiological assessment. Post-operatively, all but two knees (93.9%) had correction of trochlear dysplasia radiologically but degenerative changes of the patellofemoral joint developed in 30% (10) of the knees. We conclude that recurrent patellar dislocation associated with trochlear dysplasia can be treated successfully by trochleaplasty, but the impact on patellofemoral pain and the development of patellofemoral osteoarthritis is less predictable. Overall, subjective patient satisfaction with restored patellofemoral stability after trochleaplasty appeared to outweigh its possible sequelae.

Familial association of femoral trochlear dysplasia with recurrent bilateral patellar dislocation.
Femoral trochlear dysplasia is an anatomic deformity that predisposes patients to patellar instability, including patellar subluxation and dislocation, and can lead to severe patellofemoral joint degeneration if left untreated. Femoral trochlear dysplasia leading to recurrent bilateral patellar dislocation has rarely been reported as having a familial association. Orthopedic surgeons who encoun...
متن کاملClinical Outcomes after Isolated Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction for Patellar Instability
BACKGROUND Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction has become one of the most common and widely used procedures to regain stability among patients with recurrent lateral patellar dislocation. While recent studies demonstrated low recurrence rates, improved patient-reported outcome measures, and a high rate of return to sports, limited literature explored its effectiveness as an iso...

متن کاملThe outcomes of the modified Fulkerson osteotomy procedure to treat habitual patellar dislocation associated with high-grade trochlear dysplasia
BACKGROUND Habitual patellar dislocation is not common in clinical practice, but it has a deep impact on the patient's lifestyle and movement. There has been no large case-control study on habitual patellar dislocation, and the management of it is still controversial. The aim of this study was to observe the efficacy of the modified Fulkerson procedure on patients with habitual patellar disloca...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Characteristics of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Lesion in Acute Lateral Patellar Dislocations Considering Trochlear Dysplasia, Patella Alta, and Tibial Tuberosity–Trochlear Groove Distance
Background: There are a number of different factors that are thought to play a role in patellar instability, including injuries to the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), trochlear dysplasia, patella alta, and an increased tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance. Objective: To use MRI to assess injury patterns to the MPFL, trochlear dysplasia, patellar height, and TT-TG distance ...
