2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Sex-Based Differences in Outcomes After MPFL Reconstruction

Sex-Based Differences in Outcomes After MPFL Reconstruction

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses a study on the outcomes of male and female patients who underwent MPFL reconstruction for patella instability. The study aimed to investigate whether there were differences in pain, function, satisfaction, and return to play between the sexes. The study included 141 knees of 131 patients and found that there were no significant differences in terms of pain levels, function, or satisfaction between the genders. However, male patients had a higher rate of return to sport and reported lower pain during sports activities compared to female patients. The study concluded that female patients had worse clinical outcomes, but interestingly, they were more willing to undergo the procedure again and had similar satisfaction compared to male patients.
