Brief Summary

Patellar dislocations cause pain and functional decline in adolescents, which can be restored by a MPFL reconstruction with or without tibial tuberosity transposition. 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.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Patients 16 years and older with recurrent patellofemoral instability who received a MPFL reconstruction with or without TTT.

You may qualify if:

  • Age of 16 years and older.
  • Recurrent patellofemoral instability, for which:
  • the patient will receive a MPFL reconstruction with or without TTT, or
  • the patient has received a MPFL reconstruction with or without TTT , on the condition that the patient has a usable preoperative 4D CT scan.
  • Informed consent of the patient.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients below an age of 16 years.
  • Patients that are pregnant.
  • BMI \> 35
  • Patients that are unable to actively flex and extend their knee.
  • Patellar stabilizing surgery other than the usual MPFL reconstruction with or without TTT. This includes: trochleoplasty, static MPFL reconstruction, isolated TTT
