Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

  • Patellofemoral joint instability is a growing concern, leading to increased surgical interventions.
  • Recent advancements in understanding and surgical techniques have revitalized treatment options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and present complications associated with five primary surgical procedures for patellofemoral joint instability.
  • To highlight key factors for success and potential pitfalls in these surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of surgical interventions for patellofemoral joint instability.
  • Analysis of complications reported for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, tibial tubercle osteotomy, trochleoplasty, lateral release/lengthening, and derotation osteotomies.

Main Results:

  • Complications vary across the five main surgical procedures for patellofemoral instability.
  • Specific challenges and risks are identified for each technique, including infection, hardware issues, and recurrent instability.
  • Expert takeaways provide practical guidance on mitigating risks and optimizing outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the specific complications of each surgical technique is crucial for patient selection and management.
  • Careful surgical planning and execution are essential to minimize adverse events and improve patient outcomes in patellofemoral joint instability surgery.
