So You’ve Mastered MPFL Reconstruction: What Else to Add, and When? (AANA22)-Introduction

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This presentation on patellar-femoral instability emphasizes the importance of individualized surgical treatment beyond MPFL reconstruction. Key factors include addressing soft tissue deficiencies, bony malalignment like tuberosity lateralization, patella alta, and coronal/rotational abnormalities. While MPFL reconstruction reduces instability, recurrence rates can reach 26%, highlighting the need for precise anatomic technique and appropriate graft management. The session features experts discussing coronal and rotational malalignment, patella alta, trochlear abnormalities, and lateral soft tissues, incorporating case discussions and a Q&A to enhance understanding of when to add concurrent procedures for better outcomes.
