Filter by:This study aims to determine the ability of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) repair augmented with Biobrace® to decrease the re-dislocation rate after a primary patellofemoral dislocation. First-time patellofemoral dislocation is a significant problem, and the ramifications of recurrence for patients are substantial. Due to the multifactorial nature of the pathoanatomy of patellofemoral instability, it has been difficult to design trials that will show how interventions could affect the natural history of these young patients. No definitive studies have determined whether the surgical reconstruction of the MPFL in patients with mild to moderate pathoanatomic risk factors will decrease the re-dislocation rate after a first-time dislocation. In addition, to date, no synthetic option has provided both biology and strength for ligament augmentation. This innovation may allow for a minimalist approach to keeping the patella centred in the trochlear groove during the healing phase after a first-time dislocation.
Study to evaluate the conservative treatment of patients after their first episode of primary lateral patellar dislocation. Randomized controlled trial with 2 groups: standard treatment (2-weeks with brace) followed by physical therapy, compared with knee taping and physical therapy. 1-year follow-up. Measurements include physical exam, radiographs and MRI. Outcomes: recurrence, lateral patellar tilt, functional scores, apprehension, pain. Hypothesis: less recurrence in the knee taping group, as well as better functional scores.
The aim of this study is to assess outcomes of MPFLR With Fascia Lata Allograft, Based on Isometry Assessment Combined With Elmslie-Trillat Tibial Tuberosity Osteotomy.
The purpose of this study is to assess correlation between recurrent patella dislocation and genetic polymorphism rs1800012 of the COL1A1 Gene and rs12722 of the COL5A1 Gene.
The purpose of this study is to elucidate surgical techniques for reconstructing MPFL in the treatment of chronic patella instability. The two techniques are conventional technique with the gracillis and screw fixation in the femur which is compared with new technique where the QT tendons and anchor fixation in the femur are used. It would be investigated which technique provides the best stability with the least postoperative pain from the reconstruction and the lowest frequency of patellar reluxation.
Patellar dislocations cause pain and functional decline in adolescents, which can be restored by a MPFL reconstruction. Yet, many reconstruction methods are being used clinically as consensus on the ideal MPFL reconstruction method is lacking. We propose a soft-tissue loop reconstruction method which potentially decreases the risk for of iatrogenic fracture of the patella and prevents femoral tunnel malposition.
There is no consensus regarding whether rehabilitation or surgical management is best for the management of a primary patellar dislocation. Consequently this prospective randomized controlled aims to compare the incidence of recurrent knee dislocations and patient reported outcomes of patients with primary patellar dislocations managed with surgery (medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction) compared to non-operative management (a standardized rehabilitation protocol, control group).
This study will compare anatomic Medial Patellofemoral Reconstruction from Hamstring graft with non anatomic reconstruction according to Campbell. The purpose of this study is to evaluate which type of treatment recurrent patella dislocation provides to better clinical, radiological and laboratory outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of utilizing blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy after distal biceps tendon repair or medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) following a tear.
All the data of patients with patellar dislocation will be collected to evaluate the anatomic deformities. The data includes X-ray, CT, MRI examinations, medical records, and physical examination information. Finally, we correlate the anatomic deformities with clinical efficacy. To search for the risk factors that lead to patellar dislocation and influence the therapeutic effect.
