Abstract
Understanding all the technical features and functions associated with medial patellar ligament reconstruction (MPFL) with autograft will make restoration more effectual, limiting complications associated with its non-anatomical placement. We describe in this study the cases of two girls aged seven and thirteen who underwent successful MPFL reconstruction after failed proximal and distal patellofemoral realignment surgeries they had previously undergone to treat recurrent patellar dislocation. The modified Cincinnati and Kujala score were used for the preoperative and postoperative clinical evaluation of the two girls. In the final reassessment of the two girls, seven years post-operatively for the seven-year-old girl, and three years post-operatively for the thirteen-year-old girl, the modified Cincinnati score and the Kujala score were increased significantly. The restoration of the MPFL is a justified surgical method for an effective outcome of the reestablishment of patellar stability in skeletally immature patients who underwent less successful surgeries in the past.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Musculoskeletal Research is an international, interdisciplinary journal aimed at publishing up-to-date contributions on clinical and basic research in the musculoskeletal system. Research into the musculoskeletal system has grown tremendously in the past few decades. Meanwhile, several outstanding journals in the field have appeared, but with a different emphasis and objective. With the growing number of studies in the field, the review process has become increasingly longer. We hope this journal will serve as a new forum for both scientists and clinicians to share their ideas and the results of their studies.
