Article Synopsis
- - The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) plays a crucial role in preventing lateral patellar dislocation, and the study aims to compare the effectiveness of autograft versus allograft for MPFL reconstruction in terms of functional outcomes and recurrence rates.
- - In a cohort study assessing patients who underwent MPFL reconstruction from 2013 to 2018, no significant differences were found in postoperative functional scores or rates of recurrent instability between the autograft and allograft groups.
- - The research concluded that both graft types are effective options for MPFL reconstruction, as they demonstrated comparable patient outcomes in terms of pain and instability following the procedure.
