Abstract Introduction The purpose of this study was to describe the indications and technical aspects as well as evaluate the clinical and functional outcome of lengthening osteotomy of the lateral trochlear ridge in patients with patellofemoral pain and/or patella instability and presence of trochlear dysplasia Dejour type A or lack of Dejour type dysplasia and short lateral articular trochlea. Materials and methods Six consecutive adult patients were treated with a lateral trochlear lengthening osteotomy. Five patients received a concomitant medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. Three patients had prior patella stabilization surgeries. Trochlea dysplasia (Dejour classification), Caton–Dechamps index, tibial tubercle trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, patellar tilt and lateral condylar index were measured in preoperative MRIs. Clinical and functional evaluation included the Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale, the Lysholm Knee Score, the Tegner Activity Score, a subjective evaluation form and isokinetic muscle strength. Results Four patients had a Dejour type A dysplasia, two patients had no dysplasia. The mean (range) Caton-Dechamps index was 1.09 (0.95–1.16), TT-TG distance 10.9 mm (9.2–15.6 mm), patellar tilt 15° (4–32°) and lateral condylar index 82.0% (74–90%). One patient was lost to follow up, all others were followed for 2–5 years. All patients were satisfied with the clinical outcome. The Lysholm score increased from 55 (37–79) to 89 (76–100), the Tegner activity score from 3.6 (2–6) to 5.6 (5–7). The Kujala score postoperative was 90 (75–96). Some but not all patients had full strength recovery compared to the contralateral leg. Conclusion We recommend measuring the lateral condylar index and considering the indication of a lateral trochlear lengthening osteotomy as an additional or isolated procedure in selected patients with trochlear dysplasia Dejour type A or lack of dysplasia and short lateral articular trochlea depending on the extent of the patellar instability.

Aims Trochlear dysplasia is a significant risk factor for patellofemoral instability. The Dejour classification is currently considered the standard for classifying trochlear dysplasia, but numerous studies have reported poor reliability on both plain radiography and MRI. The severity of trochlear dysplasia is important to establish in order to guide surgical management. We have developed an MRI-specific classification system to assess the severity of trochlear dysplasia, the Oswestry-Bristol Classification (OBC). This is a four-part classification system comprising normal, mild, moderate, and severe to represent a normal, shallow, flat, and convex trochlear, respectively. The purpose of this study was to assess the inter- and intraobserver reliability of the OBC and compare it with that of the Dejour classification. Methods Four observers (two senior and two junior orthopaedic surgeons) independently assessed 32 CT and axial MRI scans for trochlear dysplasia and classified each according to the OBC and the Dejour classification systems. Assessments were repeated following a four-week interval. The inter- and intraobserver agreement was determined by using Fleiss’ generalization of Cohen’s kappa statistic and S-statistic nominal and linear weights. Results The OBC showed fair-to-good interobserver agreement and good-to-excellent intraobserver agreement (mean kappa 0.68). The Dejour classification showed poor interobserver agreement and fair-to-good intraobserver agreement (mean kappa 0.52) Conclusion The OBC can be used to assess the severity of trochlear dysplasia. It can be applied in clinical practice to simplify and standardize surgical decision-making in patients with recurrent patella instability. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(1):102–107

Background: Reports of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in patients with skeletal immaturity have been increasing. Variations in knee joint anatomy have been linked to ACL injury risk factors. Purpose: To identify associations between ACL injury, patella alta, and femoral trochlear dysplasia in patients with skeletal immaturity by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This retrospective study included 231 patients with skeletal immaturity—116 with acute complete noncontact ACL injury and 115 without ACL injury (controls)—who underwent knee MRI. Cases of femoral trochlear dysplasia were divided into 4 types according to the Dejour classification scheme. Patellar height and patellar tendon length were measured via sagittal MRI, and the Insall-Salvati ratio (ISR) was calculated. Results: In the ACL injury group, 56 (48.3%) knees exhibited trochlear dysplasia, including 51 (91.1%) that were Dejour type A; and in the control group, 12 (10.4%) knees exhibited trochlear dysplasia, 12 (100%) Dejour type A. The prevalence of femoral trochlear dysplasia was significantly higher in the ACL injury group than in the control group ( P < .001). The ISR was not significantly different between the ACL injury and control groups (0.9 ± 0.2 vs 1 ± 0.2 mm; P = .16). The correlation between ISR >1.2 and presence of ACL injury was not significant. Conclusion: Femoral trochlear dysplasia was associated with ACL injury in patients with skeletal immaturity. In particular, Dejour type A femoral trochlear dysplasia was correlated with ACL injury patients with skeletal immaturity. Also, the possibility of ACL damage exists in patients with skeletal immaturity and femoral trochlear dysplasia.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar, pela reprodutibilidade interobservador e intraobservador, a classificação proposta por David Dejour para descrever a displasia troclear do joelho. Métodos Foram estudados dez pacientes com diagnóstico de displasia troclear. Três médicos membros da Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia do Joelho foram convidados para avaliar as imagens. Análises intra- e interobservador foram feitas com intervalo de uma semana. A reprodutibilidade foi avaliada em quatro cenários: uso de radiografia; uso de radiografia e tomografia; uso de radiografia, consultando-se a classificação no momento; e uso de radiografia e tomografia, consultando-se a classificação no momento. Resultados A avaliação intraobservador apresentou resultados discordantes. Na análise interobservador, o grau de concordância foi baixo para as análises que usavam apenas a radiografia e excelente para aquelas que associavam radiografia e tomografia. Conclusão A classificação de Dejour apresentou uma baixa reprodutibilidade intra e interobservador quando usada somente a radiografia em perfil. Demonstrou-se que o uso apenas da radiografia para classificar pode gerar falta de uniformidade até mesmo entre observadores experientes. Contudo, quando radiografia e tomografia foram associadas, a reprodutibilidade melhorou.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Trochlear dysplasia is one of the most important risk factors for recurrent patellar instability. It is defined on true lateral conventional radiographs (CR) and axial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The type of trochlear dysplasia is decisive for surgical treatment; however, low agreement between CR and MRI has been reported. Purpose: To compare the Dejour classification of trochlear dysplasia on CR and axial MRI using differing levels defined in the literature. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: The 4-type classification of trochlear dysplasia by Dejour was used to analyze 228 knees with recurrent patellar dislocations on true lateral CR and axial MRI. The 2-type modification of the Dejour classification was also similarly analyzed. Measurements on axial MRI were performed at 3 different levels: MR1, the most proximal level where the intercondylar notch forms a “Roman arch”; MR2, 3 cm above the joint line; and MR3, the midpatellar height. Results: MR1 was measured at a mean distance of 29 ± 3.5 mm and MR3 at a mean of 38 ± 5.8 mm above the joint line. MR1 and MR2 were always measured on the cartilaginous trochlea, whereas 52% of MR3 was found more proximally. Overall agreement was fair between CR and MR1/MR2 (31.1%/25.4%, respectively) and highest for MR3 (45.2%; P < .01). The highest agreement (81.8%) was found for MR3 with the 2-type trochlear dysplasia classification (low-grade trochlear dysplasia: type A vs high-grade trochlear dysplasia: types B, C, and D) and lower for MR1 (67.5%) and MR2 (62.0%). Conclusion: Trochlear dysplasia measured on CR and MRI shows only fair agreement, especially when the supratrochlear region of the distal femur is not analyzed on axial MRI. MRI analysis that considers the cartilaginous trochlea only tends to underestimate the severity of dysplasia according to Dejour. For a more precise evaluation of trochlear dysplasia, the entire distal femur should be analyzed on axial MRI.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Trochlear dysplasia (TD) is a risk factor for patellar instability (PI). The Dejour classification categorizes TD but has suboptimal reliability. Lateral trochlear inclination (LTI) is a quantitative measurement of trochlear dysplasia on a single axial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. Hypothesis: A modified LTI measurement technique using 2 different axial MRI scans that reference the most proximal aspect of the trochlear cartilage on 1 image and the fully formed posterior condyles on the second image would be as reliable as and significantly different from the single-image measurement technique for LTI. Further, the 2-image LTI would adequately represent overall proximal trochlear morphologic characteristics. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: Patients aged 9 to 18 years treated for PI between 2014 and 2017 were identified. The Dejour classification was radiographically determined. Single-image LTI was measured on a single axial MRI scan at the most proximal aspect of visible trochlear cartilage. A 2-image LTI was measured from 2 separate MRI scans: 1 at the most proximal aspect of trochlear cartilage and the second at the fully formed posterior condyles. This 2-image LTI was repeated at 3 subsequent levels (the first measurement is referred to as LTI-1; repeated measurements are LTI-2, LTI-3, and LTI-4, moving distally). In total, 65 patients met the inclusion criteria, and 30 were randomly selected for reliability analysis. Results: Inter- and intrarater reliability trended toward more variability for single-image LTI (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC], 0.86 and 0.88, respectively) than for 2-image LTI (ICC, 0.97 and 0.96, respectively). The Dejour classification had lower intra- and interrater reliability (ICC, 0.31 and 0.73, respectively). Average single-image LTI (9.2° ± 12.6°) was greater than average 2-image LTI-1 (4.2° SD ± 11.9°) ( P = .0125). Single-image LTI classified 60% of patients with PI as having TD, whereas the 2-image LTI classified 71% as having TD. The 2-image LTI was able to capture 91% of overall proximal trochlear morphologic characteristics. Conclusion: LTI has higher reliability when performed using a 2-image measurement technique compared with single-image LTI and Dejour classification. The strong correlation between 2-image LTI and average LTI shows that 91% of TD is represented on the most proximal axial image. Because the single-image measurement appears to underestimate dysplasia, previously described thresholds should be reexamined using this 2-image technique to appropriately characterize TD.

Objectives: Recurrent patellar instability is frequently treated surgically with reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). Patients with significant patella alta, trochlear dysplasia, and/or an elevated tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance may benefit from a concurrent bony procedure such as a tibial tubercle osteotomy or trochleoplasty. The indications to include such procedures are traditionally based on imaging criteria, but remain controversial. Patellar apprehension is common in patients with patellar instability but typically resolves in higher degrees of knee flexion. We hypothesis that the persistence of patellar apprehension at greater than 60 degrees of knee flexion is associated with patella alta, increased TT-TG distance, and trochlear dysplasia. Methods: Seventy-six patients with recurrent patellar instability were prospectively identified in a sports medicine clinic. Patellar apprehension was evaluated in each patient. Apprehension was defined as the patient reporting that the patella felt unstable to lateral patellar translation. Apprehension was first assessed at full knee extension and repeated assessed as the knee was flexed in 10 degrees intervals as measured with a goniometer. The degree of flexion at which patellar apprehension disappeared was recorded. Plain films and MRI were obtained in all patients. Patellar height was assessed with the Caton-Deschamps (CD) index and trochlear morphology was assessed through measurement of the sulcus angle and depth on MRI and classification with the Dejour classification system. Imaging measurements of patients in which apprehension resolved by 60 degrees of knee flexion were compared with measures for those with apprehension that persisted deeper into flexion. Results: Apprehension resolved by 60 degrees of flexion in 55 patients and persisted into deeper flexion in 21 patients. The patients with delayed resolution of apprehension demonstrated a higher CD Index, elevated TT-TG distance, increased higher sulcus angle, decreased trochlear depth, and a higher incidence of Dejour B, C, or D dysplasia (all p < 0.05, Table 1). Of the 21 patients with delayed resolution of apprehension, 18 had either Dejour B, C, or D dysplasia or a Caton-Deschamps Index of at least 1.3. Delayed resolution of apprehension was present in 11 of the 16 patients with Dejour B, C, or D dysplasia. Conclusion: The presence of patellar apprehension in higher degrees of knee flexion is associated with patella alta, increased TT-TG distance, and more severe trochlear dysplasia. Further work is needed to evaluate utility of this exam finding to inform surgical decision-making in this population.

ObjectiveTrochlear dysplasia is a major predisposing factor of patellar instability (PI). Dysplasia types are generally evaluated using the Dejour classification, but it is unclear whether this classification covers the entire spectrum. The objective of this study was to confirm whether the trochlear types on an axial view categorised according to the classification represent the entire trochlear shape.MethodsNinety knees from 81 patients with PI and 15 knees from 10 healthy volunteers (HVs) were evaluated. Three-dimensional knee models were created by MRIs. The femoral trochlear planes (FTPs) were defined as virtual cross sections including the transepicondylar axis, closer to the perpendicular plane of the articular surface. FTP 0 was defined as the reference plane including the proximal edge of the femoral trochlea and FTP θ as the plane making optional angle θ to FTP 0. Trochlear dysplasia types according to the classification were evaluated at every 10 degrees of FTPs up to 60 degrees (FTP 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60). A trochlea with a sulcus angle <145° was defined as normal. Changes in the trochlear type according to FTPs, and agreement with clinical classification were evaluated.ResultsEighty-six knees (96%) in patients with PI and 12 (80%) in HVs showed changing trochlear types in different FTPs. Patterns of change varied among patients with PI and HVs. This suggests morphological variation of dysplastic trochleae. Agreement of trochlear type on each FTP with the clinically used Dejour classification was 42% on FTP 10, 49% on FTP 20, 33% on FTP 30, 22% on FTP 40, 22% on FTP 50% and 22% on FTP 60 in patients with PI, and 20% at FTP 10, 80% at FTP 20 and 100% on FTP 30 through FTP 60 in HVs. This suggests that the trochlear types in the clinically used plane do not always match the ones on the planes describing the contact surface to the patella.ConclusionThe trochlear types on an axial view provided by the Dejour classification do not represent the entire trochlear geometry. Multiple axial planes should be clinically used to more precisely describe the entire trochlear shape.

‘Numerous operations have been described for correction of recurrent dislocation of the patella. The number in itself predicates that the problem has not been solved’.This classic discusses the original publication ‘Diagnosis and treatment of recurrent dislocations of the patella’ from Trillat A, Dejour H, Couette A. Published in 1964 at the Revue de Chirurgie Orthopedique et Reparatrice de L'appareil Moteur, where the authors described a surgical procedure modifying Elmslie’s original surgery for patients with objective patellar dislocations and also for patients with anterior knee pain who had the sign of the ‘baïonnette’. Medialisation of the anterior tibial tubercle (ATT) has been known worldwide as the Elmslie-Trillat procedure, but the history of procedure has its roots going back to 1888. The history of the publications of the Elmslie-Trillat technique is really something special. César Roux published in 1888 the original technique that is similar to Elmislie’s procedure. In 1944 in London, Trillat met Selddon and became aware about Elmslie’s procedure for the ATT medialisation. Back to France, Trillat published and named it as the Elmslie’s technique. Later, after the ‘Journées du Genou’, the technique was disseminated as ‘The Elmslie-Trillat’ procedure. Nowadays, isolated ATT medialisation, the ‘true’ Elmslie-Trillat operation, is still occasionally performed. Too few surgeons use these elegant operations largely because the details of the techniques are not taught routinely. This classic section has the objective to encourage young surgeons to learn tibial tubercle transfer operations and the benefits they bring to patients when performed for proper indications.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Patellar instability (PI) is relatively rare but occurs most often in younger patients with underlying pathoanatomy. Trochlear dysplasia (TD) is one of many identified PI risk factors, but consensus is lacking on ideal radiographic measurements. The Dejour classification of TD on lateral radiographs is widely accepted but has suboptimal intra and interrater reliability and does not allow quantification of TD. Lateral trochlear inclination (LTI) measured on the most proximal axial magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the trochlear chondral surface is another described measurement of TD. LTI has historically been described with reference to the posterior aspect of the femur at the same axial level at which the proximal trochlea is measured. However, given the transitional anatomy of the distal femur, the LTI may be better represented by referencing the axis of the fully formed posterior femoral condyles. The posterior condyles represent a true axis of rotation that serves as an internal reference for knee motion and is clearly visible on MRI. We hypothesized that modified LTI measurements (LTI) referencing the posterior condylar axis would differ from the apparent LTI (ALTI) in a pediatric and adolescent population. We also hypothesized that the LTI would have stronger intra and inter reliability than the ALTI measurement and Dejour classification. Lastly, we hypothesized that the most proximal level of the trochlea would adequately represent overall proximal trochlear morphology. This is clinically relevant because dysplasia is most severe on the proximal trochlea and normalizes distally towards the intercondylar notch. Methods: Patients aged 9 to 18 years treated for PI at our tertiary referral center between January 2014 and August 2017 were identified. The Dejour classification was determined on lateral knee radiographs. The ALTI was measured as previously described on axial MRI images (Figure 1A). The LTI (also referred to as LTI #1) was measured on the same MRI image with respect to the angle of the posterior condyles (Figure 1B-C). The LTI was measured again in this fashion at the three subsequent, consecutive axial levels (LTI#2, LTI#3, LTI#4) to capture the first 12 mm of the proximal trochlea. The average of these measurements (LTI-avg) was calculated for each patient. All measurements were performed by two independent observers. A cohort of 30 patients were randomly selected for reliability analysis which was performed twice by three independent observers at least two weeks apart. Inter- and intra-rater correlation coefficients were calculated on this subgroup. Regression analysis was performed on the entire cohort. Results: Sixty-five patients met inclusion criteria for this study, and thirty patients were randomly selected for reliability analysis. Inter- and intra-rater reliability for ALTI showed good agreement but trended towards more variability than the inter- and intra-rater reliability for LTI#1 which had near perfect agreement (Table 1). Inter- and intra-rater reliability for all subsequent LTI measurements and LTI-avg had high or near perfect agreement (Table 2). The Dejour classification had poor to moderate inter-rater and good to near perfect intra-rater reliability. The crossing sign was the most reliable radiographic feature (Table 3). In the entire cohort of 65 patients, the average ALTI (9.2+/-12.6 degrees) was 7.0+/-3.4 degrees greater (less dysplastic) than the average LTI #1 (4.2+/-11.9 degrees) (p = 0.013). Referencing the 11 degrees LTI threshold value for trochlear dysplasia reported in the literature, the ALTI was below 11 degrees in 60% of our PI patients indicating dysplasia, while the LTI was less than 11 degrees in 71% of our PI patients. Regression analysis demonstrated statistically significant positive correlation between LTI#1 and LTI#2 (r=0.88, beta=0.81, p<0.0001), LTI#1 and LTI#3 (r=0.67, beta=0.54, p<0.0001), LTI#1 and LTI#4 (r=0.65, beta=0.43, p<0.001), and LTI#1 and LTI-avg (r=0.91, beta=0.70, p<0.0001). Conclusion: LTI has higher intra and interrater reliability when performed with reference to the posterior condyles compared to the historical measurement (ALTI) and the Dejour classification. The significant and strong correlation between LTI#1 and subsequent LTI measures as well as LTI-avg shows that 90% of TD is represented on the first, most proximal axial image and thus provides an appropriate, reliable and quantifiable measurement of TD in children and adolescents with PI. The significant difference found between LTI and ALTI shows that the historical measurement appears to underestimate dysplasia. Thus, previously described threshold values should be re-examined using this new technique to appropriately characterize trochlear dysplasia in patients with patellar instability as this can have implications for treatment algorithms for these patients.

Objectives: Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction has become an increasingly popular means to regain stability in the setting of recurrent lateral patellar dislocation, with nearly twice the number of medical centers performing reconstruction of the MPFL and outcomes reported on nearly double the number of patients in recent years. While recent studies have demonstrated improved patient reported outcome measures and a high rate of return to sports, limited literature has explored its effectiveness as an isolated intervention in the context of trochlear dysplasia. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of isolated MPFL reconstruction in treating patellar instability in the setting of trochlear dysplasia. Methods: This was a retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent unilateral or bilateral medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction for patellofemoral instability. No osteotomies were included. All patients with minimum 2 year follow up were included. Pre- and postoperative assessment included ligamentous laxity, patellar crepitus, tilt, translation, and apprehension, and radiographic features including tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) ratio, Dejour classification, and Caton Deschamps ratio. Final follow up consisted of patient reported outcome measures including the Kujala score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, and visual analog scale (VAS). Results: 105 MPFL reconstructions were included. Average age at surgery was 23.8 years (SD 9.7, range 12.1 - 57.0) with an average BMI of 23.4 (SD 4.7, range 16.3-43.6) and an average of 4.4 (SD 6.8) dislocation events prior to surgery. Average follow up was 44 months (range 24-111). 76% of patients were female. Average preoperative TT-TG ratio was 13.5 (SD 3.9, range 3.2-22) and Caton Deschamps ratio was 1.2 (SD 0.2, range 0.9-1.6); 74.5% of patients had Dejour C or D trochlear grooves. Kujala score improved from 54.5 (SD 3.8) preoperatively to 87.2 (SD 2.1) at 2 year follow up (p < 0.0001), Lysholm improved from 57.7 (SD 3.6) to 86.4 (SD 2.0) (p < 0.0001), IKDC improved from 52.1 (SD 3.8) to 79.5 (SD 2.6) (p < 0.0001), and VAS pain score improved from 2.9 (SD 0.3) to 1.7 (SD 0.3) (p<0.017). 78.9% of patients were able to return to sports at 1 year, with 69% returning to the same or higher level of play. At minimum 2-year follow up, only 5 patients reported either a postoperative dislocation or subluxation event. Conclusion: This study is the largest single series to report on the effectiveness of isolated MPFL reconstructions in a cohort of patients with a high incidence of trochlear dysplasia. In patients with normal TT-TG ratios, isolated medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction provides safe and effective treatment for patellofemoral instability, despite the presence of Dejour class C or D trochlear grooves. Most patients are able to return to sports by 1 year postoperatively at the same or higher level of play.

Aims and Objectives: The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the most important passive stabilizer of the patella. In recurrent lateral patellar dislocations reconstruction of the MPFL with an autologous tendon transplant is a frequently performed surgical procedure that shows a low redislocation rate between 1%-7%. However, a complication rate of up to 26% and a reoperation rate of 4% has also been observed. The question, therefore, arises which parameter determines MPFL reconstruction failure. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify reasons for MPFL reconstruction failure with regard to patients’ complaints leading to reoperation. Materials and Methods: Between July 2015 and May 2019 28 patients (M/F 9/19; mean age 27 ± 8 years) with postoperative complaints after MPFL reconstructive surgery had to undergo revision surgery. Preoperative failure analysis included clinical examination (ROM, ReDPAT, J-sign, and Patella-Glide Test) and radiological imaging with regard to anatomical risk factors of patellar instability and MPFL tunnel positioning. Anatomical predisposition was assessed according to Dejour’s classification of trochlear dysplasia, tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance, tibial tuberosity-posterior cruciate ligament distance, patellar height, varus/valgus malalignment and torsional profile. Results: Three major reasons for revision surgery were identified: (1) patellar redislocation, (2) limited range of motion (ROM), and (3) anterior knee pain (AKP). Sixteen of the 28 patients (57%) suffered from recurrent patellar dislocation. Severe trochlear dysplasia (type B/D according to Dejour) (44%), valgus deformity (19%), increased patellar height (19%), and misplaced femoral drill channels (31%) could be identified as risk factors for redislocation. An increased TT-TG (>20mm) or TT-PCL (>24mm) distance could not be observed in any patient in this group. Limited ROM with an average maximum flexion ability of about 92 ± 26° was observed in 10 of the 28 patients (36%), of which 9 patients additionally complained of AKP. Misplaced femoral drill channels (80%), severe trochlear dysplasia (type B/D according to Dejour) (20%) and postoperative decreased patellar height (20%) could be identified as risk factors for postoperative limited ROM. Other reasons for postoperative AKP were increased femoral antetorsion (n=1) and retropatellar cartilage damage (n=2) without any loss of ROM. Conclusion: Recurrent dislocation of the patella, limited ROM and AKP were identified as most common complications after MPFL reconstruction leading to revision surgery. Failures are mainly due to neglected bony risk factors of patellar instability (trochlear dysplasia, patella alta and valgus deformity) and to misplaced femoral drill channels. Appropriate patient selection and an accurate surgical technique appear mandatory for a good clinical outcome when patellar instability is treated solely with an MPFL reconstruction.

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 isolated intervention in the context of trochlear dysplasia. Purpose: To determine the efficacy of isolated MPFL reconstruction in treating patellar instability in the setting of trochlear dysplasia. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: This was a retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent uni- or bilateral medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction for patellofemoral instability with a minimum 2-year follow-up. No osteotomies were included. Pre- and postoperative assessment included ligamentous laxity, patellar crepitus, tilt, translation, apprehension, and radiographic features, including tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, Dejour classification, and Caton-Deschamps index. Results: A total of 121 MPFL reconstructions were included. Mean age at surgery was 23.8 years, and 4.4 dislocation events occurred before surgery. Mean follow-up was 44 months; 76% of patients were female. Mean preoperative TT-TG ratio was 13.5, and mean Caton-Deschamps ratio was 1.2; 92% of patients had Dejour B, C, or D trochlear dysplasia. Kujala score improved from 55.0 preoperatively to 90.0 ( P < .001). Almost all patients (94.5%) were able to return to sports at 1 year, with 74% returning to the same or higher level of play. Only 3 patients reported a postoperative dislocation or subluxation event. Discussion: For patients without significantly elevated TT-TG distances or significant patella alta, isolated MPFL reconstruction provides a safe and effective treatment for patellofemoral instability, despite the presence of trochlear dysplasia. Most patients are able to return to sports by 1 year postoperatively at the same or higher level of play.

The patellofemoral joint presents a complex biomechanical interaction involving soft tissues and bony structures to maintain joint stability. The most relevant factor is trochlear dysplasia which is present in 85% of patients. Femoral trochleoplasty is a surgical procedure to recreate the trochlear groove. This case report describes a young patient who had all clinical factors of patellar instability and trochlear dysplasia. Radiology studies showed trochlear dysplasia type C according to the Dejour classification. The patient underwent a trochleoplasty with an elevated flap of cartilage and subchondral bone as described by Ryzek and Schöttle [J Knee Surg 2015; 28(4): 297–302], associated with the reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament. Femoral trochleoplasty is a surgical procedure to recreate the trochlear groove by removing subchondral bone to create a new trochlear sulcus, while respecting the kinematics and biomechanics of the patellofemoral joint.

Background: The treatment of patellar instability in the setting of trochlear dysplasia is challenging. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes for the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocations due to trochlear dysplasia using anteromedialization tibial tubercle osteotomy combined with medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) imbrication. We hypothesized that the treatment of patellar instability with tibial tubercle osteotomy and MPFL imbrication would result in improved patient satisfaction and decrease patellar instability events in patients with prior instability and trochlear dysplasia. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent MPFL imbrication and concomitant anteromedialization tibial tubercle osteotomy for recurrent patellofemoral instability at a single institution. The minimum follow-up was 1 year. Patient demographic information including age at the time of surgery, sex, body mass index (BMI), tibial tubercle–trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, and grade of trochlear dysplasia was collected along with relevant operative data. Postoperatively, recurrent dislocation events as well as Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, and Kujala scores were collected, and satisfaction was ascertained by asking patients whether they would undergo the procedure again. Results: A total of 37 knees from 31 patients (23 female) with a mean follow-up of 3.8 years (range, 1-8.9 years) were included. The mean patient age was 28.8 years (range, 14-45 years), the mean BMI was 24 kg/m2 (range, 20-38 kg/m2), and the mean preoperative TT-TG distance was 18.9 mm (range, 8.4-32.4 mm). Two knees were classified as low-grade trochlear dysplasia (Dejour A) and 35 as high-grade trochlear dysplasia (Dejour B-D). At final follow-up, patients reported mean KOOS subscale scores of 86.5 (Pain), 79.8 (Symptoms), 93.9 (Activities of Daily Living), 74.3 (Sports/Recreation), and 61.9 (Quality of Life), as well as a mean Kujala score of 81.3. Mean patient satisfaction was 8.3 of 10. The majority of knees (86.5%; 32/37) remained stable without recurrent instability after this procedure, while 13.5% (5 knees) suffered a recurrent dislocation, with 2 requiring revision surgery. Eight knees (21.6%) underwent subsequent hardware removal. Conclusion: Anteromedialization tibial tubercle osteotomy with MPFL imbrication can improve recurrent patellofemoral instability and provide significant clinical benefit to patients with trochlear dysplasia.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The surgical indication for tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) has been based on a tibial tubercle–trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance of 20 mm or greater in patients with patellar dislocation. However, the measurement of this parameter is less reliable in patients with trochlear dysplasia. Hypothesis: The novel measurement of tibial tubercle–Roman arch (TT-RA) distance would be a reliable parameter for identifying the relative position of the tibial tubercle in patients with patellar dislocation, especially those with trochlear dysplasia. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: A total of 56 patients with a diagnosis of patellar dislocation and 60 volunteers (60 knee joints) without a history of lower extremity pain or injury were included in our study. The TT-RA distance, TT-TG distance, and some femoral anatomic parameters were assessed by use of computed tomography. The measurements were performed by a radiologist and an orthopaedic surgeon in a blinded and randomized fashion. The difference in each parameter between the study and control groups was analyzed through use of an unpaired t test. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to evaluate the discriminatory capacity of the included parameters. The cutoff values of the included measurements with specificity and sensitivity were calculated. In addition, the TT-TG distance and TT-RA distance were analyzed using the Dejour classification to evaluate the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of each parameter in different types of femoral trochlea. Result: A significant difference for TT-RA distance was found between the study group (23.24 ± 4.41 mm) and control group (19.15 ± 4.24 mm) ( P < .001). The TT-RA distance had an area under the curve of 0.757. At a value greater than 23.74 mm, TT-RA distance had 53.57% sensitivity and 88.33% specificity for patellar dislocation. The ICCs of TT-RA distance measurements were excellent in all Dejour classifications (>0.939), whereas the ICCs of TT-TG distance measurements were relatively lower than the ICCs of TT-RA distance measurements. According to the data from included healthy individuals, the pathological TT-RA distance threshold was 26 mm. Conclusion: Compared with TT-TG distance, the TT-RA distance is a more reliable parameter for identifying the relative position of the tibial tubercle in patients with trochlear dysplasia. For patients with a TT-RA distance greater than 26 mm, surgery should be considered to correct the malposition of the tibial tubercle.

Methods Two orthopaedic surgeons independently assessed 50 MRI scans for trochlear dysplasia and classified each according to the OBC. Both observers repeated the assessments after six weeks. The inter- and intraobserver agreement was determined using Cohen’s kappa statistic and S-statistic nominal and linear weights. Results The OBC with grading into four different trochlear forms showed excellent inter- and intraobserver agreement with a mean kappa of 0.78. Conclusion The OBC is a simple MRI-based classification system with high inter- and intraobserver reliability.

Background: Patients who are refractory to initial management of trochlear dysplasia, which consists of bracing and physical therapy, may be candidates for trochleoplasty. Indications: Indications for trochleoplasty include Dejour classification type B or D trochlear dysplasia, supratrochlear spur height ≥7 mm, and a positive J sign on examination. Technique Description: The thick shell sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty technique involves removing the supratrochlear spur by creating a 5-mm–thick osteochondral shell with underlying cavity, dividing the thick shell into medial and lateral leaflets, and securing the leaflets with absorbable sutures. This establishes a new trochlear groove that is flush with the anterior cortex of the femur. Results: A review of 21 studies with length of follow-up from 8.8 months to 15 years found postoperative dislocation was present in 0% to 15% of patients and the patient satisfaction ranged from 81.0% to 94.4%. A prospective study with a minimum 2-year follow-up found no cases of recurrent dislocation, no progression of radiographic arthritis, 84.8% of patients returned to sport, and the patient satisfaction was a 9.1/10. Discussion/Conclusion: Sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty for trochlear dysplasia provides patellar stability and excellent patient satisfaction.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: Patellofemoral instability (PFI) is a painful condition affecting approximately 7 patients per 100,000 in the US. Unfortunately, as many as 50% of young patients with patellar dislocations can go on to recurrent instability and have debilitating symptoms. With a wide range of operative techniques, and subsequent reoperation and complication rate cited in the literature, it becomes challenging to create an appropriate algorithm with which to treat patients. The goal of our study was to determine the reoperation rate, risk factors for reoperation, and patient reported outcomes after Tibial Tubercle Transfer (TTT), Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction (MPFLR), or a combination of the two, for patellofemoral instability surgery. Methods: We retrospectively identified patients who underwent MPFLR and TTT by querying the surgical database at our single institution from 2002-2018 for CPT codes associated with the procedures (CPT-27418, CPT-27427). Patients were included if they had an MPFLR and/or TTT performed for PFI whether recurrent or single dislocation. Patients were excluded if either additional ligamentous reconstruction was performed simultaneously, indications for the procedure was for a condition other than PFI or if records were incomplete. 497 patients were eligible to be included. Radiographic measurements, demographic parameters, and subsequent revision procedures and their indications were identified. A modified anterior knee pain survey was conducted by mail and with follow-up phone survey. Chi-Square Tests or Fishers Exact Test were used to compare differences for categorical data and Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used to compare the non-parametric pain scores. A multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the association between patient demographics, radiographic parameters and procedure type. Results: The overall rate of reoperation amongst all patients was 25.6%. The rate of reoperation for MPFL alone (19.9%) was lower than that of TTT alone (34.8%) or both procedures simultaneously (26.4%) (P = .007). There was a trend towards increased major reoperation rates and revision stabilization procedures in patients with isolated TTT (P = .16). There was no association with tibial tubercle to trochlear groove (TTTG) distance and the rate of reoperation (P = .99). A preoperative Dejour classification D was associated with a higher reoperation rate (28%) than those with Dejour A-C (P=.43). A Caton-Deschamp ratio >1.3 increased the odds of having a revision stabilization surgery (odds ratio 2.303). Patients who had a revision surgery for any reason were more likely to report pain while walking compared to those who did not (P = <.0001). Conclusion: The overall reoperation after PFI surgery is higher than previously reported. Patients who underwent further procedures were more likely to report continued knee pain when walking. Our results would suggest that patients with trochlear dysplasia and patella alta are more likely to undergo future procedures for instability, and may benefit from more aggressive initial treatment, such as MPFLR and TTT in combination.

Objectives: Patellar instability caused by trochlear dysplasia may be addressed by sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty. A paucity of data exists from the United States regarding this procedure and no long term follow up. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome data of patients undergoing sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty for high-grade trochlear dysplasia at our institution. Methods: Sixty-four patients (71 knees) with severe trochlear dysplasia were prospectively enrolled and underwent sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty using the Dejour method from 2011-2018. Thirty-six of 71 knees (50.6%) had prior surgery and failed prior surgical management for patellar instability. Concomitant procedures during trochleoplasty were performed at varying rates. Radiographic analysis, physical examination, and clinical follow-up were obtained for all patients. At enrollment, patients completed preoperative visual analog scores (VAS), international knee documentation committee (IKDC) and Kujala scores, which were repeated at their 6 month, 1 year, 2 year, 3 year, and 4 year follow-up visits. Preoperatively, the patellotrochlear index (PTI), trochlear spur height, and trochlear depth were all measured. The patient’s sulcus angle was measured preoperatively and postoperatively on sunrise (merchant) view xray. Of the entire cohort, 43 patients (49 knees) had at least one year complete follow-up including xrays, physical exam, and patient-reported outcome measures and were included in the study. Results: The majority of patients were female (81.6%) with a mean age of 19.6 (+/- 6.8y). Follow-up ranged from 12 months to 78.4 months (mean 27.7 +/- 15.4). At the time of enrollment, mean BMI was 27.1 kg/m2 (+/-6.3) with one current smoker and one diabetic patient. Mean duration of symptoms prior to surgery was 75.2 months (+/- 72.5; r: 4-370mos). All knees were either Dejour B (81.3%) or D (18.8%) with a mean Caton-Deschamps index (CDI) of 1.20 (+/-0.2). Mean spur height preoperatively was 7.41 mm (+/1.84 mm) with a mean trochlear depth -0.18 (+/-2.71). Mean patellotrochlear index (PTI) was 0.41 (+/0.41). There were zero episodes of recurrent instability. All patients reported clinically significant improvements compared with baseline preoperative outcome scores. The mean preoperative IKDC score was 49.99, which improved to 79.86 (p<0.001), and the mean preoperative Kujala score was 55.88, which improved to 85.80 (p<0.001). Patients reported high satisfaction rates (9.5 +/-1.6 out of 10). All but 1 patient (96.9%) returned to work while 88.2% of patients were able to return to sport. Ten knees (20.4%) developed arthrofibrosis and required manipulation under anesthesia while eight of which underwent simultaneous arthroscopic lysis of adhesions. At the latest follow-up, mean knee range of motion was 132.4 +/- 13.2 degrees. Preoperative VAS was 3.31 (right) and 4.16 (left) while postoperative was 1.31 (right) and 1.76 (left) (p=0.007 R, 0.002 L). Radiographic analysis of the sulcus angle demonstrated a significant decrease from 148.86 degrees (+/-11.42) preoperatively to 135.11 degrees (+/-8.85) postoperatively (p<0.001). Conclusion: In the setting of severe trochlear dysplasia, sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty can provide a reliable and successful surgical solution to recurrent patellar instability. At a minimum of one year follow-up, the majority of patients were satisfied with their outcome corroborated by their subjective, validated outcome measures.

Purpose To evaluate the long-term results of classical “à la carte” surgical treatment of objective patellar instability as proposed by Dejour in 1987. Methods A multicentric retrospective study was conducted evaluating patients that underwent surgical procedure with a 10-year minimum follow-up (mean 12.7; range, 10–15). Surgical procedures were medial transfer of the tibial tubercle transfer according to Elmslie and Trillat et al in 38 cases, plasty of the vastus medialis obliquus according to Insall in 15 cases, open lateral retinacular release in 13 cases, capsuloplasty in 3 cases, and trochleoplasty in 1 case. Different combinations of surgical procedures were adopted according to the pathological features. Subjective outcome was assessed with the visual analog scale (VAS), Kujala score, subjective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Tegner score, and Crosby and Insall scale. Radiographic exams were used to assess the patellar tilt by the Laurin's angle and patellofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) according to the Iwano radiological OA scale. Results Forty patients were evaluated. Subjectively, 60% of patients achieved a result judged good, 34% sufficient, and 6% poor. There were only two cases of recurrence of instability. Mean score results were Kujala score 73.4 ± 9.9 (range, 55–95), VAS 4.5 ± 1.2 (range, 1–6), IKDC 64.8 ± 7.9 (range, 51–88), and Tegner score 4. Only nine patients returned to sports activities). Ten patients developed a grade I patellofemoral OA, 8 patients a grade II, and 22 patients a grade III. Average patellar tilt was 10° ± 3.9°. Conclusion This retrospective study showed that the traditional surgical procedure was successful for the treatment of patellar instability, but it did not prevent symptomatic patellofemoral OA. Level of Evidence Level IV, retrospective case series.

Full textAbstract:
Apart from enhancing the production of red blood cells, erythropoietin (Epo) alters the ventilatory response when oxygen supply is reduced. We recently demonstrated that Epo's beneficial effect on the ventilatory response to acute hypoxia is sex dependent, with female mice being better able to cope with reduced oxygenation. In the present work, we hypothesized that ventilatory acclimatization to chronic hypoxia (VAH) in transgenic female mice (Tg6) harboring high levels of Epo in the brain and blood will also be improved compared with wild-type (WT) animals. Surprisingly, VAH was blunted in Tg6 female mice. To define whether this phenomenon had a central (brain stem respiratory centers) and/or peripheral (carotid bodies) origin, a bilateral transection of carotid sinus nerve (chemodenervation) was performed. This procedure allowed the analysis of the central response in the absence of carotid body information. Interestingly, chemodenervation restored the VAH in Tg6 mice, suggesting that carotid bodies were responsible for the blunted response. Coherently with this observation, the sensitivity to oxygen alteration in arterial blood (Dejour test) after chronic hypoxia was lower in transgenic carotid bodies compared with the WT control. As blunted VAH occurred in female but not male transgenic mice, the involvement of sex female steroids was obvious. Indeed, measurement of sexual female hormones revealed that the estradiol serum level was 4 times higher in transgenic mice Tg6 than in WT animals. While ovariectomy decreased VAH in WT females, this treatment restored VAH in Tg6 female mice. In line with this observation, injections of estradiol in ovariectomized Tg6 females dramatically reduced the VAH. We concluded that during chronic hypoxia, estradiol in carotid bodies suppresses the Epo-mediated elevation of ventilation. Considering the increased application of recombinant Epo for a variety of disorders, our data imply the need to take the patient's hormonal status into consideration.

Purpose of the study— to evaluate surgical treatment outcomes of the patients with chronical patella instabilitywho underwent double bundle transpatellar reconstruction of medial patella-femoral ligament (MPFL) by a semitendinous tendon autograft. Material and methods.26 patients with minimal 12 months follow up were included into the study. In all casessemitendinous tendon autograft was inserted through a vertical tunnel in the patella, formed in a loop, and fixed in femoral tunnel by a biodegradable screw. Preoperative MRIs were used to evaluate trochlear dysplasia type by D. Dejour classification, tibial tubercle to trochlear groove distance (TT-TG) and Insall-Salvati ratio. Postoperative x-rays were used to measure femoral tunnel angle (FTA), postoperative MRIs — to measure diameter of patella tunnel (d_Pat), distance from tunnel to medial border of patella (MPM) and diameter of tunnel in medial femoral condyle (d_Fem). Functional outcomes were evaluated by Kujala Score, Lysholm and IKDC, also the authors assessed the level of sports activity prior to and after the surgery. Results.Age median of the patients at the moment of procedure was 22 years. MRI data prior to surgery reportedthat the majority of patients suffered from B type of trochlear dysplasia, median TT-TG distance was 14.6 mm, median Insall-Salvati ratio was 1.1 mm. Postoperative x-rays and MRIs demonstrated median FTA of 18°, d_Pat median — 5.4 mm, MPM median — 7.0 mm, d_Fem median — 8.2 mm, no implant migrations were observed. Subjective assessment scores demonstrated excellent outcomes: Kujala Score — 96, IKDC — 87.4, Lysholm — 91. No secondary dislocations during follow up were reported, 48% of patients returned to sports on the pre-surgery or higher level, 52% of patients returned to sports with decreased activity. Conclusion.Transpatellar reconstruction of MPFL by semitendinous tendon autograft proved to be the efficienttreatment method of chronical patella instability.

AbstractPatellofemoral instability is a severe problem in young and active patients. This pathology is influenced by ligamentous, bony, and neuromuscular parameters. The reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) evolved to a primary procedure, but combined procedures were more frequently performed in the past years. However, additional operative procedures are associated with increased morbidity and no absolute indication can be identified in the literature. This study is intended to clarify whether addressing only ligamentous influence factors (MPFL) in chronic patellofemoral instability is sufficient to produce good clinical outcomes, or whether other risk factors influence the results negatively and should also be treated at some point. In 52 patients with chronic patellofemoral instability patellar height according to Caton-Deschamps, trochlear dysplasia according to Dejour, the leg axis, the femoral antetorsion, tibial tubercle (TT)–trochlear groove, and TT–posterior cruciate ligament distance were evaluated. All patients were treated with isolated MPFL reconstruction. After a minimum follow-up period of 24 months (24–36 months), the clinical outcome results were calculated using the scoring system according to Lysholm and Tegner. Correlation between clinical outcome scores and anatomic risk factors were calculated. The analysis was performed using a standard statistical software package (JMP version 12, SAS Institute, Cary, NC). The average postoperative Lysholm score increased significantly from 57.23 ± 19.9 to 85.9 ± 17.2 points (p < 0.0001) after isolated MPFL reconstruction. Moreover, the Tegner and Lysholm scores significantly improved both in patients without and with different risk factors postoperative. There were no significant differences in the outcome sores between the groups. Even the degree of trochlear dysplasia (types I–III) did not influence the results. Finally, there was no significant correlation found between all collected risk factors and the postoperative outcome scores. Isolated MPFL reconstruction can be an effective procedure in patients with patellofemoral instability and mild to moderate risk factors.

Background: Lateral patellar dislocation can become a recurrent problem after the first episode. Identifying those patients who are at increased risk of redislocation is important for the treatment decision-making process. Purpose: To identify clinical and radiologic risk factors for recurrence of patellar dislocation after a first episode. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The study included patients with lateral patellar dislocation and a 1-year minimum follow-up who were seen between 2011 and 2018. Patients aged 10 to 65 years were included. Patient characteristics, physical examination (patellar apprehension, J sign), and radiographs were reviewed. The Caton-Deschamps and Insall-Salvati ratios were used to evaluate patella alta. High-grade trochlear dysplasia was defined as Dejour types B, C, and D. Results: A total of 130 patients (139 knees) with primary lateral patellar dislocation were included. Recurrent dislocation was seen in 83 knees (59.71%). Stepwise logistic regression analysis demonstrated that Caton-Deschamps ratio ≥1.15 (OR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.09-5.22; P = .029), age <21 years (OR, 2.53; 95% CI, 1.11-5.77; P = .027), and high-grade trochlear dysplasia (OR, 4.17; 95% CI, 1.90-9.17; P < .001) were significantly associated with patellar redislocation. Based on the presence of these factors, the probability of dislocation after a first lateral patellar dislocation was 31.2% with no factors present, 36.6% with any 1 factor present, 71.7% with any 2 factors present, and 86.2% if all 3 conditions were present. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that patella alta, high-grade trochlear dysplasia, and age <21 years were independent risk factors for patellar redislocation after a first episode, with an additive effect when they were present together. This may help to guide the type of treatment for these patients.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Chronic lateral patellar instability is one of the commonly seen clinical conditions encountered by knee surgeons. Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction has become mainstay treatment over the last three decades. Upto 26% complication rates have been reported in literature with MPFL reconstruction. The purpose of this study is to analyse failure rates, complications of surgery for PF instability and to identify the predictive factors for failure. Methods: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed of all 215 (234 knees) patients who had undergone MPFL reconstruction between October 2007 and August 2018. All the cases with any postoperative complications or failures were included. A failure was defined by a postoperative patellar dislocation or surgical revision for recurrent patellar instability or anterior knee pain not resolving with conservative methods. Other complications such as stiffness, infection, neurological deficit and deep vein thrombosis were also included. Lysholm, Kujala, Tegner and radiographic features, such as trochlear dysplasia according to Dejour classification, patellar height with the Caton-Deschamps index (CDI), tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance were analysed pre and post operatively. Results: Ten patients (4.27%) had a revision of MPFL reconstruction, seven patients (3%) had removal of their metal work. Post-operative stiffness was in only three patients (1.28%) and required manipulation under anesthesia. Six patients (2.56%) had patellofemoral replacement over time while three patients had arthroscopic debridement for cartilage related pathology. There was also one case each of femoral nerve palsy(related to the nerve block), post-operative deep infection, deep vein thrombosis?. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the only study recording the failures and complications of MPFL reconstruction on a large patient database. Age above 30, obesity, cartilage lesions, hyperlaxity and female gender are predictors of a poor subjective outcome. Identifying the potential risk factors preoperatively can prevent future complications.

Aims The aim of this study was to evaluate cartilaginous patellotrochlear congruence and patellofemoral alignment parameters after deepening trochleoplasty in severe trochlear dysplasia. Patients and Methods The study group comprised 20 patients (two male, 18 female; mean age 24 years (16 to 39)) who underwent deepening trochleoplasty and medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction for the treatment of recurrent lateral patellar dislocation due to severe trochlear dysplasia (Dejour type B to D). Pre- and postoperative MRI investigations of the study group were compared with MRI data of 20 age- and gender-matched control patients (two male, 18 female; mean age 27 years (18 to 44)) regarding the patellotrochlear contact ratio, patellotrochlear contact area, posterior patellar edge-trochlear groove ratio, and patellar tilt. Results Preoperatively, all parameters in the study group indicated significant patellar malalignment, including a reduced patellotrochlear contact ratio (mean 0.38 (0.13 to 0.59) vs mean 0.67 (0.48 to 0.88); p < 0.001), reduced contact area (mean 128 mm2 (87 to 190) vs mean 183 mm2 (155 to 227); p < 0.001), increased patellar lateralization (mean 0.82 (0.55 to 1.0) vs mean 0.99 (0.93 to 1.1); p < 0.001) and increased patellar tilt (mean 25.8° (8.1° to 43.0°) vs mean 9.1° (0.5° to 16.8°); p < 0.001). Postoperatively, all parameters in the study group improved significantly and reached normal values compared with the control group. The patellotrochlear contact ratio increased to a mean of 0.63 (0.38 to 0.85) (p < 0.001), the contact area increased to a mean of 187 mm2 (101 to 255) (p < 0.001), the posterior patellar edge-trochlear groove ratio improved to a mean of 0.96 (0.83 to 0.91) (p < 0.001), and the patellar tilt decreased to a mean of 13.9° (8.1° to 22.1°) (p < 0.001) postoperatively. Conclusion Deepening trochleoplasty and MPFL reconstruction normalized the patellotrochlear congruence and patellofemoral alignment parameters. Modifying the dysplastic trochlea involves approximating the trochlear morphology to the shape of the patella rather than inducing a patella and trochlea mismatch.

Abstract Purpose To analyze whether preoperative patellofemoral anatomy is associated with clinical improvement and failure rate after isolated patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) using a modern inlay-type trochlear implant. Methods Prospectively collected 24 months data of patients treated with isolated inlay PFA (HemiCAP® Wave, Arthrosurface, Franklin, MA, USA) between 2009 and 2016, and available digitalized preoperative imaging (plain radiographs in three planes and MRI) were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were evaluated using the WOMAC score, Lysholm score, and VAS pain. Patients revised to TKA or not achieving the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the total WOMAC score or VAS pain were considered failures. Preoperative imaging was analyzed regarding the following aspects: Tibiofemoral OA, patellofemoral OA, trochlear dysplasia (Dejour classification), patellar height (Insall–Salvati index [ISI]; Patellotrochlear index [PTI]), and position of the tibial tuberosity (TT–TG and TT–PCL distance). Results A total of 41 patients (61% female) with a mean age of 48 ± 13 years could be included. Fifteen patients (37%) were considered failures, with 5 patients (12%) revised to TKA and 10 patients (24%) not achieving MCID for WOMAC total or VAS pain. Failures had a significantly higher ISI, and a significantly lower PTI. Furthermore, the proportion of patients with a pathologic ISI (> 1.2), a pathologic PTI (< 0.28), and without trochlear dysplasia were significantly higher in failures. Significantly greater improvements in clinical outcome scores were observed in patients with a higher preoperative grade of patellofemoral OA, ISI ≤ 1.2, PTI ≥ 0.28, TT–PCL distance ≤ 21 mm, and a dysplastic trochlea. Conclusion Preoperative patellofemoral anatomy is significantly associated with clinical improvement and failure rate after isolated inlay PFA. Less improvement and a higher failure rate must be expected in patients with patella alta (ISI > 1.2 and PTI < 0.28), absence of trochlear dysplasia, and a lateralized position of the tibial tuberosity (TT–PCL distance > 21 mm). Concomitant procedures such as tibial tuberosity transfer may, therefore, be considered in such patients. Level of evidence Level III, retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data.

Introduction It is not known if there are side-to-side differences in knee morphology in patients with bilateral patellar instability (BPI). Such knowledge would help to answer the question whether similar treatment and prognosis could be expected for both knees in patients with BPI. The purpose of our study was to evaluate and compare anatomic / morphologic risk factors between knees in patients with BPI. Materials and Methods Of 294 patients who underwent surgical stabilization for patellar instability (2008-2017), 32 patients were identified who underwent staged or simultaneous bilateral surgery. This formed the study cohort. Demographic data, mechanism of initial injury and first knee side to be symptomatic were recorded. Radiographs and MRI of these 64 knees were evaluated for trochlear dysplasia (trochlear depth), patellar height (Caton-Deschamps index, Insall-Salvati ratio), patellar tilt, TT-TG distance, sulcus angle (cartilaginous and bony) and trochlear bump (cartilaginous and bony). The number and percentage of knees with pathologic values for measured risk factors were analyzed. For each risk factor, 15% side-to-side differences were considered significant. Statistical correlation was calculated between the time of presentation (first symptomatic knee) and magnitude of risk factors. All measurements were repeated after a 3-week interval and ICC was calculated to determine intraobserver reliability. Results The mean age of 32 patients was 14.6 years. 17/32 patients were females. 29 patients had staged surgery with mean interval of 21 months between surgeries; 3 patients had simultaneous surgery on each knee. Patients with BPI had multiple risk factors. 22/32 patients (69%) had the same Dejour type of trochlear dysplasia. For each measured risk factor, the number and percentage of patients with 15% or more side-to-side differences is shown (Table 1). There were significant side-to-side differences in patellar height ratios, TT-TG distance, and trochlear bump. The timing of presentation did not correlate with increased risk factors, i.e, the knee that presented earlier did not have increased risk factors compared to contralateral knee. ICC showed excellent intraobserver reliability. Conclusion There were significant side-to-side differences between knees in patients with BPI. Treatment and prognosis should be based on anatomic risk factors for each knee in patients with BPI. [Table: see text]

Full textAbstract:
Background: Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is widely acknowledged as an integral part of the current therapeutic armamentarium for recurrent patellar instability. The procedure is often performed with concomitant bony procedures, such as distalization of the tibial tuberosity or trochleoplasty in the case of patella alta or high-grade trochlear dysplasia, respectively. At the present time, few studies have evaluated the clinical effectiveness of MPFL reconstruction as an isolated intervention. Purpose: To report the clinical outcomes of isolated MPFL reconstruction in cases of patellar instability and to identify predictive factors for failure. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed, including all patients who had undergone isolated MPFL reconstruction between January 2008 and January 2014. Preoperative assessment included the Kujala score, assessment of patellar tracking (“J-sign”), and radiographic features, such as trochlear dysplasia according to Dejour classification, patellar height with the Caton-Deschamps index (CDI), tibial tubercle–trochlear groove distance, and patellar tilt. The Kujala score was assessed postoperatively. Failure was defined by a postoperative patellar dislocation or surgical revision for recurrent patellar instability. Results: A total of 239 MPFL reconstructions were included; 28 patients (11.7%) were uncontactable and considered lost to follow-up. Thus, 211 reconstructions were analyzed with a mean follow-up of 5.8 years (range, 3-9.3 years). The mean age at surgery was 20.6 years (range, 12-48 years), and 55% of patients were male. Twenty-seven percent of patients had a preoperative positive J-sign, and 93% of patients had trochlear dysplasia (A, 47%; B, 25%; C, 15%; D, 6%). The mean CDI was 1.2 (range, 1.0-1.7); mean tibial tubercle–trochlear groove distance, 15 mm (range, 5-30 mm); and mean patellar tilt, 23° (range, 9°-47°). The mean Kujala score improved from 56.1 preoperatively to 88.8 ( P < .001). Ten failures were reported that required surgical revision for recurrent patellar instability (4.7%). Uni- and multivariate analyses highlighted 2 preoperative risk factors for failure: patella alta (CDI ≥1.3; odds ratio, 4.9; P = .02) and preoperative positive J-sign (odds ratio, 3.9; P = .04). Conclusion: In cases of recurrent patellar instability, isolated MPFL reconstruction would appear to be a safe and efficient surgical procedure with a low failure rate. Preoperative failure risk factors identified in this study were patella alta with a CDI ≥1.3 and a preoperative positive J-sign.

Full textAbstract:
Background Increased tibial slope has been shown to be associated with higher anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction failure rate. Little is known about the correlation of tibial slope and anterior tibial translation in ACL deficient and reconstructed knees as well as the correlation of tibial slope and ACL reconstruction outcome. Purpose/Hypothesis The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of tibial slope with anterior tibial translation and ACL reconstruction outcome. It is hypothesized that increased medial tibial slope is associated with increased anterior tibial translation in the ACL deficient knee. Medial tibial slope is neither expected to affect anterior tibial translation in the ACL reconstructed knee nor short-term ACL reconstruction outcome. Materials and Methods A cohort of 104 patients with unilateral isolated ACL deficiency undergoing hamstring ACL reconstruction by a single surgeon between 2002 and 2004 was followed up prospectively. Preoperative data were collected including patient demographics, time to surgery, subjective and objective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) outcome scores, as well as manual maximum anterior tibial translation measured with the KT-1000 measuring instrument. Medial tibial slope was assessed on long lateral X-rays using the method described by Dejour and Bonnin (1994). Intraoperative data were collected including meniscal integrity; postoperative data were collected at 1-year follow-up including manual maximum anterior tibial translation (KT-1000 measured), and subjective and objective IKDC scores. Results A significant positive correlation was seen between medial tibial slope in ACL deficient knees and KT-1000–measured anterior tibial translation (r = 0.24; p = 0.003). The positive relationship increased when meniscal integrity was factored in (r = 0.33; p < 0.001). No significant correlation was seen between medial or lateral meniscal integrity and KT-1000–measured anterior tibial translation (r = −18; p = 0.06). No significant correlation was seen between KT-1000–measured anterior tibial translation and time to surgery. One year postoperatively, 82 patients were assessed, while 26 patients were lost to follow-up; no significant correlation was found between increased medial tibial slope and poor ACL reconstruction outcome measured by post-ACL reconstruction anterior tibial translation (KT-1000) or subjective and objective IKDC scores. Conclusion Increased medial tibial slope is associated with increased (KT-1000 measured) anterior tibial translation in ACL deficient knees. No significant correlation is found between increased medial tibial slope and poor short-term ACL reconstruction outcome.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Habitual patellar dislocation in extension (HPD-E) is a distinctive subtype of recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD); HPD-E represents the most severe type of patellar maltracking in RPD. It has been reported that the presence of preoperative patellar maltracking is associated with a worse clinical outcome after medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction (MPFL-R). Purpose: To describe the radiological characteristics of HPD-E and to compare clinical outcomes after MPFL-R among patients with and without preoperative HPD-E. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: From January 2012 to December 2015, a total of 230 consecutive patients (246 knees) with RPD were treated with MPFL-R alone or combined with tibial tubercle osteotomy. Among them, 28 patients diagnosed with HPD-E by preoperative 3-dimensional computed tomography (CT; HPD-E group) were matched in a 1:1 fashion to 28 control participants who did not show HPD-E (control group). Routine radiography and CT were performed to evaluate patellar height, trochlear dysplasia, tibial tubercle–trochlear groove distance, and torsional deformities. The mean patellar laxity index and lateral patellar translation assessed with stress radiography were measured preoperatively and postoperatively to quantify MPFL laxity. At minimum 2-year follow-up, patient-reported outcomes (Kujala, Lysholm, and Tegner scores), patellar maltracking, and redislocation rates were compared between the HPD-E and control groups. Results: The radiological characteristics of the HPD-E group were as follows: 89% (25/28) of patients had severe trochlear dysplasia (Dejour type B or D), and the mean femoral anteversion angle was 35.5° ± 4.7°. At the final follow-up, the HPD-E group had a significantly lower Kujala score (76.2 vs 84.5, respectively; P = .001), Lysholm score (75.4 vs 86.6, respectively; P < .001), and Tegner score (4.1 vs 5.8, respectively; P = .021) compared with the control group. The postoperative patellar laxity index (43% vs 19%, respectively; P < .001) and redislocation rate (25% vs 0%, respectively; P = .01) were significantly higher in the HPD-E group than in the control group. Conclusion: Preoperative 3-dimensional CT is a reliable method of identfying patients with HPD-E. Treatment of HPD-E by MPFL-R alone or combined with tibial tubercle osteotomy resulted in a higher redislocation rate, more severe MPFL residual laxity, and lower patient-reported outcome scores compared with patients without HPD-E who underwent MPFL-R.
