2012 Surgical Algorithm …

VMO Plasty + LR

for the Patellar Tilt

MPFL isolated or combined

Lateral release if : Medial Tilt test negative

“Possible option”

All cases


MPFL has to be reconstruct

Restore “torn anatomy”

Primary restraint

Always torn or no competent after the first dislocation

Positioning rules : Fluoroscopy: lateral views+++

Indication for isolated:

C&D < 1.2

Avoid femoral malpositioning

Avoid hypercorrection and fixed patella

Graft: for primary surgery preserve extensor mechanism


TT osteotomy

Correct “abnormal alignment”

Procedure rules :

Prior to MPFL recontrsuction

No over correction

CT or MRI mandatory : objective measurement

Medialization 10 mm < TT-TG <15 mm

Distalization index C&D = 1

TT osteotomy

Procedure rules :

Adapted to trochlear shape

Prior to MPFL reconstruction


If PT length > 52 mm

Patellar Tendon Tenodesis

Correct “Normal Anatomy”

Procedure rules :

Adapted to MRI analysis

2 anchors on the native insertion

Slow evolution

Well tolerated


Lateral Patellectomy Facetectomy O’Donoghue

Procedure rules :

Ideal indication : Isolated PFA with Lateral

patella pain and TT-TG < 20mm

Ideal candidate : young and active

Ideal procedure : resection of 15mm,

lateral retinaculum release

Good option :

- Simple

- Quick recovery

- Can easily be converted to TKA

- ATT transfer : high rate of complication


ATT transfer Medial +/- anterior transfer

Ideal indication :

- Isolated PFA with Lateral patella pain

and TT-TG > 20mm

- Young and active patient

- Medialization +/- anterior transfer

Combined surgery :

- Lateral patellectomy

- Lateral retinaculum release

- Patellofemoral prosthesis

Complications

Patellofemoral arthroplasty indications

Procedure rules :

Ideal indication :

- Younger patient

- Active patient

- “Instability osteoarthritis” +++

- Normal femorotibial compartment

Different designs :

- Resurfacing

- Anatomic ++


Patellofemoral arthroplasty complications

Causes of failure

- Progression of OA++

- Mechanical failure (1st generation)

Revision by TKA

- Easy procedure

- Standard implants

- Good results but < primary TKA


UKA and patellofemoral osteoarthritis

UKA and lateral patellectomy - Symptomatic arthritis

- Joint space narrowing

- Lateral patella pain on physical examination

Alternatives - UKA + PFP (Parrate and Argenson…)

- Bicompartmental prosthesis


UKA and patellofemoral osteoarthritis

Progression of patellofemoral OA - Rare

- No influence of preoperative status

- Well tolerated

- Low revision rates due to the progression of

patellofemoral OA (2%)

- Not similar to the progression of OA after

PFP

Options? - TKA

- Bicompartmental prosthesis?

- Lateral patellectomy?

SURGERY is a valuable option:

1. If persistant MRI signs

2. Analysis of Patellar Apex
