Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction effectively treats recurrent patellar instability. Proper patient selection and surgical planning are crucial for successful outcomes in MPFL reconstruction, minimizing risks.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is critical for knee stability, with ruptures common in lateral patellar dislocations.
  • MPFL rupture accounts for 3% of knee injuries, often leading to recurrent patellar instability.
  • MPFL reconstruction (MPFLR) is a viable treatment, though recurrence rates vary.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define optimal indications for MPFL reconstruction.
  • To elucidate key techniques, pearls, and potential pitfalls in MPFLR.
  • To synthesize current literature and clinical experience on MPFLR.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review using keywords: MPFL, MPFLR, dislocation, treatment.
  • Extraction of data on diagnostic methods, indications, contraindications, management, recurrence, outcomes, and complications.

  • Analysis of surgical techniques and patient selection criteria.

    • Main Results:

    • Recurrent patellar dislocations despite conservative treatment are a primary indication for MPFLR.
    • A definitive gold standard surgical technique for MPFLR is not yet established.
    • Patient selection requires thorough evaluation and careful planning.

    Conclusions:

    • Limited comparative outcome data complicates technique selection for MPFLR.
    • Surgical procedures for MPFLR are continuously evolving.
    • Current knowledge allows for informed MPFLR indications with minimized patient risk.
