Comparing Graft Choice in Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video presents a study comparing autograft and allograft in medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. The study aims to compare functional outcomes and revision rates between the two graft options. The research is based on a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent MPFL reconstruction between 2013 and 2018. Patient demographics, imaging variables, and patient outcomes were collected. The study found no significant difference between autograft and allograft in terms of patient-reported outcomes or revision rates. Similar findings were observed in previous studies. The study concludes that both autograft and allograft are viable options for MPFL reconstruction. The main limitations include the small sample size and the retrospective nature of the study.
