Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker presents a research update on the outcomes of isolated MPFL (medial patellofemoral ligament) reconstruction in patients with recurrent patellofemoral instability. The aim of the study is to determine if a concomitant bony realignment procedure is necessary in addition to the MPFL reconstruction. The study includes a cohort of 50 patients with minimum 5-year outcomes data and an expanded cohort of 119 patients with 2-year outcomes data. The results show a low rate of recurrent instability, high return to sport rates, and significant improvement in patient-reported outcomes. The study aims to create a predictive score to determine the need for bony realignment procedures based on patient characteristics and outcomes.
