Functional testing and return to sport following stabilization surgery for recurrent lateral patellar instability in competitive athletes.
Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction and tibial tubercle osteotomy are commonly used to treat recurrent lateral patellar instability, yet there are limited available data on return to sport (RTS) following these procedures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient factors associated with excellent functional outcomes, including successful RTS, following surgical stabilization including MPFL reconstruction in competitive athletes with recurrent lateral patellar instability. ⋯ IV.

Clinical outcomes after revision surgery for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction.
Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R) is the standard surgical intervention for patella instability. However, limited knowledge exists concerning the causes for failure, and outcome after revision MPFL-R. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the causes of primary MPFL-R failure and clinical outcomes after revision MPFL-R. ⋯ III.
