2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Pediatric MPFL (video)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video presents a surgical technique for MPFL reconstruction in pediatric patients with patellar instability. The technique focuses on physeal-sparing reconstruction using all suture anchors and an onlay technique to avoid violating the physis. The video includes a case presentation of a 13-year-old female gymnast with bilateral recurrent patellar instability. The surgical procedure involves diagnostic arthroscopy, anchor placement on the medial patella, drill placement on the medial femoral condyle, fixation of the graft to the patella and femoral epicondyle, and closure of the incisions. Post-operative recovery involves four phases of rehabilitation. The video includes information on potential complications and references.
