Trochleoplasty Utilization in the Management of Patellofemoral Instability: Results From an International Survey of Surgeons.

Background: Considerable variability exists in the described clinical and radiographic indications for use, surgical techniques, postoperative management, and risk profile after trochleoplasty for the management of patellofemoral instability (PFI). In areas of clinical uncertainty, a cohesive summary of expert opinion and identification of areas of variation in current practice can be useful in guiding current practice and future research efforts.

Purpose: To assess the current indications for use, surgical techniques, postoperative rehabilitation practices, and observed complication profile for trochleoplasty in the management of PFI among surgeons who perform this procedure.

[Factors associated with adherence to pharmacological treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): preliminary review].

Introduction: ADHD treatment is safe and effective, but often, adherence to t reatment is suboptimal. We studied factors associated to adherence to treatment in ADHD described in the literature.
