NettetWith the introduction of the superficial quad technique, there has been a recent revival of interest in the quadriceps tendon as a graft choice for medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. NettetWith an MPFL graft represented, patellar lateral shift was correlated with Caton-Deschamps index (r2>0.35, p>0.03) and lateral trochlear inclination (r2≥ 0.45, p<0.02) at both 5 deg and 40 deg of flexion. For a simulated pivot landing with an MPFL graft in place, lateral patellar tracking was associated with a high patella (alta) and shallow ...

Nettet4. jul. 2015 · 3) Therefore, in the past few years, the important role of MPFL reconstruction is emphasized with development of many diverse techniques for securing stability of the patellofemoral joint. 4, 5) Remarkable developments have been made especially in graft choice and fixation methods, but determining the best method … NettetSuccessful MPFL reconstruction is dependent on anatomic placement of the graft. Our technique incorporates the use of a femoral template to ensure proper placement of the graft in the femur. jaws translation

Graft choice for isolated MPFL reconstruction: gracilis versus ...

Nettet1. jul. 2024 · MPFL reconstruction has gained great importance due to its effectiveness in the stabilization of the patella, its technical simplicity, and good results. Different … Nettet[54] stated that the MPFL ruptured at a mean of 26 ± 7 mm, and the patella dislocated at approximately 50 mm, ensur-ing an MPFL rupture [54]. Graft choice is of fundamen-tal importance for MPFL reconstruction. Tendon tensile strength and viscoelastic properties are some of the most important mechanical parameters to respect when choosing Nettetstructure or obtaining a graft from somewhere else. The hamstring tendons from the back of the knee are commonly used grafts and the gracilis tendon tends to be an … low rise polyurethane foam
