Correcting Patella Malalignment: Addressing the Femur (video)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the anatomic risk factors for patellar dislocation and the importance of assessing these factors in each case. They address various issues related to the femur, such as excessive valgus, rotation, and dysplasia, and provide guidelines for identifying and correcting these problems. The speaker also discusses the use of different surgical techniques, such as distal femoral osteotomy and trochleoplasty, to address these anatomic issues. They highlight the importance of considering additional procedures, such as MPFL reconstruction, in cases with specific risk factors or complications. The speaker emphasizes that trochleoplasty is only necessary in a small subset of patients with a convex trochlea.
