Systematic Review on MPFL Reconstruction

#DrYanke #knee #medicine #surgery
Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a common surgical treatment for patients with reoccurring patellar instability. A variety of risk factors, such as age, trochlear dysplasia, patella alta, and increased tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, have been identified and may lead to postoperative failure or poor outcomes. Dr. Adam Yanke discusses the significance of a research article published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine, "Inconsistencies in Reporting Risk Factors for Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Failure," detailing the systematic review of surgical outcome reports.
