摘要
Purpose The primary objective was to compare the functional outcomes after an isolated MPFL reconstruction using either a quasi-anatomical technique (group A) or an anatomical MPFL reconstruction (group B). The secondary objectives were to compare the rates of redislocation, range-of-motion and subjective patellar instability (Smillie test). Methods A multicenter longitudinal prospective comparative study was performed. Group A had 29 patients and 28 were included in Group B. Patients with trochlear dysplasia types C and D and patients who had undergone a trochleoplasty, a distal realignment or patella distalization concurrently with MPFL reconstruction were excluded. The main evaluation criterion was the Kujala functional score. Results The mean postoperative Kujala was 90.4 (89.4 in group A and 92.1 in group B). Upon comparing the mean difference between pre- and post-operative values, no differences were detected between the two groups (n.s). Conclusions Isolated quasi-anatomical MPFL reconstruction using a gracilis tendon autograft for recurrent patellar dislocation provides outcomes as good as the isolated anatomical MPFL reconstruction in patients with no trochlear dysplasia up to those with trochlear dysplasia type A and B at the 2–5 years follow-up. Level of evidence Level IV.
