Normalisation of Patella Alta with MPFL Reconstruction Reduces the Prevalence of Risk Factors Associated With Recurrent Patella Dislocations - A Prospective Cross Sectional Study
[post]
2020
unpublished
Background: Patella alta is a well-established risk factor for recurrent lateral patella dislocations. Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction has been shown to consistently reduce patella height. Our hypothesis is that MPFL reconstruction reduces the number of risk factors for recurrent dislocations through the correction of patella alta, resulting in a decreased risk of recurrence.Methods: A prospective cross-sectional case series of 33 knees which underwent MPFL reconstruction
