Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the presenter discusses their research on patients who underwent isolated MPFL (medial patellofemoral ligament) reconstruction for recurrent patellofemoral instability. They aim to understand when a soft tissue procedure alone is sufficient to prevent postoperative recurrent instability. The study includes mid-term results on recurrent instability events, return to sport rates, patient-reported outcome measures, and imaging measurements. The study includes data from 138 patients who underwent MPFL reconstruction, with 119 patients reaching a follow-up of more than two years and 50 patients reaching a follow-up of more than five years. The outcomes show low rates of recurrent instability, high return to sport rates, and improvement in patient-reported outcomes. The presenter also mentions the limitations of the study and the need for further research.
