Multiple Prior Dislocations Lead to Poorer Outcomes of Isolated Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction: A Retrospective Chart Review

Back to course

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker begins by expressing gratitude to the program committee and the AOSSM for allowing them to present their data. They mention that patellar dislocations can lead to recurrent instability and discuss the importance of the MPFL as the primary soft tissue restraint of lateral patellar translation. They question what drives the outcomes of isolated MPFL reconstruction and explore the possible impact of the number of prior dislocations on the success of the procedure. The speaker presents the purpose and methodology of their study, including a retrospective cohort analysis of patients who underwent isolated MPFL reconstruction. They discuss the results, noting that patients with more than two prior dislocations had higher rates of recurrent instability and poorer patient-reported outcomes. The speaker acknowledges the limitations of the study and suggests future research should focus on high-risk patients with multiple dislocations to identify additional factors influencing the outcome of isolated MPFL reconstruction.
