2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Comparing Graft Choice in Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction

Comparing Graft Choice in Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker presents a study comparing autograft and allograft in medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. The aim of the study is to assess functional outcomes and revision rates between the two graft types. The retrospective chart review included patients who underwent MPFL reconstruction for recurrent instability. Patient demographics, imaging variables, and outcomes were collected and analyzed. The results showed no significant difference in patient-reported outcomes or revision rates between autograft and allograft groups. The speaker mentions previous studies that also found similar results. The study's limitations included sample size and lack of control over certain variables. Overall, both autograft and allograft are viable options for MPFL reconstruction.
