Surgical Reconstruction of the Lateral Patellofemoral Restraint Complex for Medial Patellar Instability: A Systematic Review of Techniques and Clinical Outcomes

Medial patellar instability is an uncommon, frequently iatrogenic complication after lateral retinacular release or other lateral-sided procedures. Multiple reconstructive techniques for the lateral patellofemoral restraint complex (LPFRC) have been described, but evidence remains heterogeneous. To character...

Clinical outcomes of femoral bone tunnel fixation and onlay fixation techniques for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction: a systematic review.

BACKGROUND Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) for treatment of recurrent patellofemoral instability yields excellent outcomes and has been shown to be safe. Femoral fixation can be performed using various methods, however the role of onlay techniques when compared to bone tunnels for femoral fixation...

Combined Trochleoplasty, Tibial Tuberosity Transfer, and Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction in Recurrent Patellar Instability: Indications, Surgical Strategy, and Outcomes – A Narrative Review

Background. Recurrent patellar instability is a multifactorial condition associated with trochlear dysplasia, abnormal extensor mechanism alignment, and medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) insufficiency. Isolated procedures may not address all anatomical abnormalities, leading to persistent instability. Therefore, co...

Timing of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Associated Intra-Articular Pathology and Patient-Reported Outcomes: A Systematic Review.

IMPORTANCE The optimal timing of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) remains debated, especially regarding its association with intra-articular pathology and postoperative outcomes. Clarifying these associations is important when counselling patients and deciding between early reconstruction and init...

The comparison of graft types in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in athletes: a literature review

Background. Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common and devastating injuries in sports orthopaedics. Its incidence rate is approximately 68.6 per 100,000 person-years and it represents over 50% of all knee injuries. The risk is exceptionally high among athletic populations, with female...
