Article Synopsis
- Trochlear dysplasia increases the risk of recurrent patellar instability and complications like osteoarthritis, which can be addressed through a specific treatment approach involving trochleoplasty and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R).
- This study evaluates patient outcomes over 5 years after surgery, analyzing metrics like patellar stability and patient-reported quality of life.
- Among 131 patients, significant improvements were observed in knee function metrics, although 2% experienced dislocations post-surgery, and 38% required additional surgeries.
Similar outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in paediatric and adult populations: a 1-year follow-up of 506 paediatric operations in Denmark.

Purpose: To present 1-year results after all paediatric anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions in Denmark (5.9 M inhabitants) for the 10½ year period, 1 July 2011 to 31 December 2021.
Methods: All children who had an ACL reconstruction were enrolled.
This study determined the accuracy of standard radiographs in observing radiolucency adjacent to the tibial component in total knee arthroplasty. A model of the proximal tibia was used. Plastic sleeves of different heights were glued under the tibial tray to imitate radiolucency.
