- 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.
Objective: To compare radiological measurements of the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) morphology and measurement reproducibility across the following scanning modalities: (a) 3 T supine MRI, (b) 0.25 T supine MRI and (c) standing 0.25 T MRI.
