A 2-year follow-up of isolated Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction by using soft suture anchor and adjustable cortical fixation system.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Numerous surgical techniques and fixation methods have been described in medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction such as choice of graft, graft fixation method of patella/femur and initial tension. We describe short term clinical results of MPFL reconstruction by using soft suture anchor and adjustable cortical fixation system.

Methods

Twenty-four patients who underwent isolated MPFL reconstruction by using soft suture anchor and adjustable cortical fixation system were included in this study. All patients were followed up for at least 2 years, and pre-operative and 2 years post-operative Kujala score, IKDC score and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score were used to assess clinical outcome. Radiographic evaluation included the Q angle, congruence
