Purpose: To compare the odds of patellofemoral instability events requiring subsequent surgery and revision surgical intervention in patients with joint hypermobility syndromes (JHS) to that of a matched cohort.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study using the PearlDiver Mariner Database. Records were queried between 2010 and 2021 with a diagnosis of JHS, including Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and Marfan syndrome. Propensity matching was performed with a randomly generated control cohort without a diagnosis of JHS to account for age, sex, Charlson comorbidity index, diabetes, and obesity. Multivariable logistic regression was used to compare rates of patellar dislocation over a 1- and 2-year period between the 2 cohorts while controlling for previous knee injury or surgery. Patients who sustained a patellar dislocation over the 2-year period were followed to calculate rates of surgical intervention and subsequent revision.
Results: In a population of 91,747, those with JHS experienced patellofemoral instability at a significantly increased rate at both a 1-year (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 11.40; 95% confidence interval 9.23-14.25, < .001) and 2-year (aOR 8.73; 7.36-10.44, < .001) periods. The greatest risk was observed in patients with EDS at 1 year (aOR 16.32; 12.54-21.67, < .001). Of those with an instability event, patients with JHS experienced a significantly increased rate of surgery at 1 year (aOR 3.20; 1.61-7.28, = .002) and 2 years (aOR 3.18; 1.70-6.62, < .001). Of those treated with surgery, there was no significant difference in the rates of revision surgical intervention between the JHS and control cohorts.
Conclusions: Patients with JHS experienced significantly increased rates of patellofemoral instability and subsequent surgery. However, of those treated with surgery, there was no difference in rates of revision surgical intervention between those with or without joint hypermobility syndromes.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Trochlear Morphological Changes in Skeletally Immature Patients Across Consecutive MRI Studies.

Background: Trochlear dysplasia is a consistent risk factor for recurrent patellofemoral instability (PFI), but there is limited understanding of how the trochlea develops during growth. The aim of this study was to evaluate serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies performed in skeletally immature patients with and without PFI to characterize changes in trochlear anatomy over time.
Hypothesis: PFI leads to progressive worsening of trochlear dysplasia over time.
In functionally aligned total knee arthroplasty, femoral component rotation follows the transepicondylar axis to achieve flexion balance.

Purpose: In functionally aligned (FA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA), femoral component rotation (FCR) is personalised to optimise flexion gap balance. As axial malalignment has been attributed to patellofemoral complications, this study assessed FA FCR in relation to the surgical transepicondylar axis (TEA) and early implant survivorship.
Methods: We analysed 446 robotic-assisted primary TKAs in 393 patients using FA with preresection gap balancing.

Purpose: The treatment of patellar dislocation is tailored based on the presence or absence of osseous risk factors. The purpose of this scoping review was to investigate whether existing research addresses patient differences by mapping the use of osseous risk factors and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in studies investigating the treatment of patellar dislocation.
Methods: This study was a scoping review conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis extension for Scoping Reviews.
Anterior tibial tubercle internal torsion osteotomy (ATTITO) in patient with patellar instability.

Anterior tibial tuberosity osteotomy is a well-described therapeutic option for the treatment of patellar instability. External torsion of the anterior tibial tuberosity can be one of several factors that adversely affect the patellofemoral joint and its stability. The Anterior Tibial Tubercle Internal Torsion Osteotomy (ATTITO) allows the correction of excessive external torsion of the tibial tuberosity in a safe and reproducible manner.

Background: Tibiofemoral rotation is an emerging parameter, especially in assessing patellofemoral instability. However, reference values in the literature are inconsistent regarding the used imaging modality and do not consider the effect of knee flexion during image acquisition.
Purpose: To analyze the differences in tibiofemoral rotation measurements between computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
