Simultaneous MPFL and LPFL reconstruction for recurrent lateral patellar dislocation with medial patellofemoral instability
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report an extremely rare case of both recurrent lateral patella dislocation and medial patellofemoral instability, following prior operations to correct patella maltracking. Manual translation of the patella revealed medial and lateral instability with a positive apprehension sign. 3-D computer modelling of kinematics based on MRI data demonstrated that the patella deviated laterally at full extension and translated medially with knee flexion. The medial and lateral patellofemoral ligaments were reconstructed simultaneously with hamstring tendons, alleviating peripatellar pain and patellar instability in both directions.

Valgus instability as a cause for recurrent lateral patellar dislocation: a new mechanism for patellofemoral instability?
An association between lateral patellar dislocation (LPD) and medial collateral ligament injury (MCL) has recently been demonstrated on MRI. The same valgus injury that disrupts the femoral MCL insertion can also cause a simultaneous MPFL tear at its femoral insertion, due to the close anatomical relationship of both ligamentous structures. Valgus laxity due to MCL-deficiency increases the Q-an...
متن کاملMPFL reconstruction for recurrent patella dislocation: a new surgical technique and review of the literature.
Recurrent dislocation, subluxation and functional instability due to patellofemoral pain might be present in 30 % to 60 % of patients managed non-operatively for posttraumatic patella instability. Disruption of the capsule, medial patella retinaculum and/or vastus medialis obliquus have been associated with recurrent patella instability but recently the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) has...
متن کاملMedial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction in a Revision Setting: Anchor and Interference Screw Fixation
Recurrent patellar instability is a common pathology and typically affects younger and more active patients. To prevent complete lateral dislocation of the patella, several osseous and soft-tissue procedures have been previously described, including reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), which has been identified as the primary medial stabilizer of the patella. Several tec...

It has been suggested that recurrent dislocation, subluxation, and functional instability due to patellofemoral pain are experienced by 30% to 60% of patients with post-traumatic patella instability who are managed with non-surgical methods [1-3]. Recently, the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) has been recognized as the most important ligamentous stabilizer for preventing lateral dislocati...

In recent years, the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) has been considered as the primary restraint of the medial patellar stabilizers [1]. Clinical reports have revealed that MPFL injury occurs in almost all patients with traumatic patellar dislocation, and attention has been focused on the repair and reconstruction of the MPFL in recurrent patellar dislocation and patellar subluxation [2]...
