Abstract

Background

Recurrent patellar dislocation in combination with cartilage injures are difficult injuries to treat with confounding pathways of treatment. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of patients operated for patellofemoral instability with and without cartilage defects.

Methods

82 patients (mean age-28.8 years) with recurrent patellar dislocations, who underwent soft-tissue or bony procedures, were divided into 2 matched groups (age, sex, follow-up and type of procedure) of 41 each based on the presence or absence of cartilage defects in patella. Chondroplasty, microfracture, osteochondral fixation or AMIC-type procedures were done depending on the nature of cartilage injury. Lysholm, Kujala, Tegner and Subjective Knee scores of both groups were compared and analysed. Complications and return to theatre were noted.

Abstract

Introduction

Long term survivorship in Total Knee Arthroplasty is significantly dependent on prosthesis alignment. The aim of this study was to determine, compare and analyse the coronal alignment of the tibial component of a single implant system using 3 different techniques.

Method

Retrospective study of cases from a prospectively collected database. Radiological assessment included measurement of the coronal alignment of tibial components of total knee arthroplasties, and its deviation from the mechanical axis. A comparison study of intramedullary, extramedullary and tibial crest alignment methods was performed.

Introduction

Recurrent patellar dislocation is often reported in bilateral knees in young active individuals. The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) tear is the attributable cause behind many of them and warrants reconstruction of the ligament to stabilize the patellofemoral joint. Besides, trochleoplasty and Fulkerson's osteotomy are some other procedures that are performed to treat this problem. This study aimed to compare the clinical and functional outcomes in a cohort of patients with single-stage bilateral realignment procedures vs staged procedures.

Methods

It was a retrospective matched cohort study with prospectively collected data. A total of 36 patients (mean age-26.9 years, range 13 years to 47 years) with recurrent patellar dislocations, who underwent a surgical correction in both the knees, were divided into two matched groups (age, sex, follow-up, and type of procedure). Among them, 18 patients had surgeries in one knee done at least six months later than the other knee. The remaining 18 patients had surgical interventions for both knees done in a single stage. Lysholm, Kujala, Tegner, and subjective knee scores of both groups were compared and analyzed. The rate of complications and return to the theatre were noted in both groups.
