2023 Annual Meeting Knee Access Pass-Outcomes of MPFL Reconstruction With and Without Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy

Outcomes of MPFL Reconstruction With and Without Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Patrick Ryan presented a study comparing outcomes of NPFL reconstruction with and without tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) for patellar instability. Using a national database, they analyzed complication rates and demographic effects in patients aged 10-40. Findings showed patients undergoing NPFL reconstruction with TTO had significantly lower revision surgery rates within two years than NPFL alone. Younger patients (<21) and males had fewer complications like knee stiffness, while tobacco users faced higher infection risks. Limitations included lack of patient records and complication specifics. The study aids surgeons in counseling patients by highlighting demographic risk factors and surgical outcomes.
