Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction for patellar instability following total knee arthroplasty: A review of 6 cases.
Patellar instability is a frequent cause of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) failure. In cases of post-arthroplasty patellar instability, the medial structures may be damaged. The objective of this study was to study the effectiveness of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. We hypothesized that MPFL reconstruction will effectively realign the patella, making it a viable treatment option for managing post-arthroplasty patellar instability. ⋯ IV - Retrospective cohort study.
