MPFL Reconstruction

First described by Kaplan 1957,but not named.

Superior medial border of the patella

Between the epicondyle and the adductor tubercle

Proximal RealignmentMurat Bozkurt

MPFL Reconstruction

• The MPFL is a thin fascial band approximately 53 (range 45–64) mm long , that links from the region of the medial epicondyle of the femur to the proximal part of the medial border of the patella.

• It has been shown that this structure is present in all knees and that it is the major medial stabilizer of thepatellofemoral joint.

• MPFL had a mean tensile strength of 208 N and it is surprisingly strong for such an insubstantial appearance.

MPFL Reconstruction

• MPFL is the primary restraint and provides 60% of the restraining force to lateral translation.

• Patellar dislocation is a disabling condition that often results in disruption of the MPFL.

• Tearing of the MPFL at or near its femoral insertion is present in 80% to 100% of cases.

• The MPFL reconstruction is an accepted surgical technique for treatment of chronic patellofemoral instability.

To our knowledge no biomechanical studies has proven the negative effect of patella alta in case of trochlea dysplasia

Nevertheless it is logical to aim that the distal transferallows the patella to better engage in the trochlea.

Contact surfaces increases from 15 to 18% at 15°flexion after a 10% shortening of the Patellar tendon without augmentation of patellar forces

Tibial tubercle transfer places the patella into a better tracking relationship with respect to the trochlea- this corrects alignment which almost always improves stability

Medial imbrication and MPFL reconstruction stabilize only and should not be used to change the patella tracking pattern

Never use MPFL reconstruction to move the patella

Move tibial tubercle only to restore optimal PF loading

and central tracking- never too far!!

Always optimize balance

first and reduce load on

damaged cartilage

whenever and however

possible.

As trochlea dysplasia increases, the

need for precise, balanced tracking

and anatomic medial and lateral

retinacular balance increases

Consider trochleoplasty and/or

femoro-tibial derotation surgery

only in more extreme cases when

alignment and retinacular surgery

alone are insufficient

Dejour- Trochleoplasty for “high

grade trochlear dysplasia with patellar

instability and/or abnormal tracking.”

Differentiate functional from structural PF alignment disorders

Always exhaust non operative measures to optimize core stability and function (Teitge, Powers, Arendt)

See where the patella goes

with the quad contracted at

0 degrees and at 30 degrees

flexion

If you can’t center the patella

with your finger, centering by

medial reconstruction alone will

Tibial tubercle transfer is the most versatile and benign way to correct structural incongruity (high TT-TG, high Q angle) of patello-femoral tracking and also unload lateral and distal patella articular lesions

Tubercle transfer can compensate for structural femoral and tibial rotation problems that cause recurrent patella instability or lateral PF overload

Tibial tubercle transfer can optimize balance in a dysplastic trochlea

Tibial tubercle transfer aligns and unloads lesions.. TTT osteotomy is most appropriate when there is healthy cartilage onto which to transfer patella tracking

As trochlea dysplasia increases, need for MPFL/MQTFL graft and optimal alignment increases. Less containment (trochlea), more need for external support and perfect tracking

Usually related to improper technique, inadequate fixation or a patient accident before bony union

Technical precision, secure internal fixation, supervision and proper rehabilitation are imperative-complications are rare.

Precise surgery and early motion will avoid complications

Result of non anatomic MPFL graft placement

Matt Bollier(Arthroscopy,

2011), Elvire Servien(AJSM,

2011),Christian Lattermann

(AJSM), Andy Cosgarea and

Miho Tanaka (AAOS Scientific

exhibit 2011) have shown that

MPFL grafts are too often

malpositioned Risk of patella fracture after

MPFL reconstruction (Parikh,

JBJS 2011)

The keys to success in patellofemoral surgery

are good decision making, technical

excellence and doing no more than is needed

Relationship of the tibialtubercle(TT) to thetrochlear groove(TG)center (Neyret, Dejour)

TT transfer when elevated TT-TG and patella tracking laterally

Superimposed CT images

Recent data from Tanaka and Dahm have shown that TT-TG measurements are variable- use with caution!!!

Simply mark center of proximal

trochlea on computer screen of CT

or MRI axial cut, then scroll down to

tibial tubercle and use the ruler from

toolbar to measure TT-TG distance

The more you need to consider how tibial tubercle transfer might optimize PF tracking and articular loading

When there is a need to realign the patella , in any plane, or to unload a painful lesion permanently

To achieve stability of the extensor mechanism by establishing optimal vector alignment

Resurface an area that will receive contact after TTT

Unload a surface that has been treated with ACI or OC graft

Farr, Cole, Minas, Gillogly, Lattermann, Peterson

High Q angle and TT-TG, no medial articular lesion(Pidoriano type 2)

Lateral facet lesion

No distal lesion (Pidoriano tyle 1)which will benefit from anteriorization-(tipping up the distal patella off of the lesion)

My views:

Medial TTT effectively establishes balanced PF tracking and COMPENSATES for core deficiencies that cause chronic lateral tracking

Much less risk and more direct than femoral derotation (which also compensates for other structural and alignment problems)

Bringing the patella into balanced alignment with the trochlea creates improved knee function overall

External rotation of the tibia caused by medial TTT is preferable to the abnormal internal rotation caused by lateral PF tracking

Medial TTT, particularly AMZ, proven to result in overall less load to patella than MPFL reconstruction (Elias and Cosgarea)

Separate issue from MPFL or MQTFL reconstruction (balanced tracking vs stabilization)

Medial lesion from previous overzealous TT medialization

+/- medial subluxation

Intact lateral facet

In cases of patella infera, proximalization of the tibial tubercle may be necessary

With symptomatic patella alta, distalization will get patella into deeper trochlea earlier

Patella distalization becomes more important in the patient with combined patella alta and trochlea dysplasia

BOTH PROCEDURES MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY APPROPRIATE SOFT TISSUE RELEASE AND/OR BALANCING

Anteriorization is most helpful to diminish or eliminate load on distal patella lesions. These are common after a dislocation

Beware of proximal lesion(crush) as anteriorization will place load on proximal patella earlier in the flexion arc.

“TIP UP THE DISTAL POLE”

Uncommon procedure

Sagittal plane osteotomy vs Maquet

Sagittal plane osteotomy requires back cut from lateral side

Other option is anteromedial TTT with an offset bone graft

Unloads distal and lateral lesions(the principle lesions in patients with PF rotational alignment disorders)

Requires intact proximal medial cartilage (may be a problem after dislocation or crush)

Appropriate when TT-TG elevated and improved alignment is needed along with distal unloading

Highly effective for the right patients- improved stability and pain relief

TTT or arthroplasty?

These patients do well with anteromedial tibialtubercle transfer, AS LONG AS THERE IS INTACT MEDIAL CARTILAGE onto which to transfer

Realign medial tracking patella

Unload medial lesion, overloaded from previous excessive or posteromedial TTT

Precise osteotomy, tapered to anterior cortex distally

Move slightly distal to correct alta if needed and anteriorly to unload distal/lateral articular lesion

Secure fixation

Immediate motion

Protect weight bearing 6 weeks

Transfer such that PF loading will be onto better cartilage

Remove hardware late (>6 months)

Result depends to a large extent on effectively unloading the lesion causing pain

unloads distal lesion Selective use of cartilage

resurfacing broadens the indications for this procedure(Farr, Minas, Schepsis, Cole, Gillogly)

Safe and effective--properly done

Must taper osteotomy to anterior tibia distally-do not notch tibia shaft

Once the tracking is optimized by TTT, restore retinacular support as needed

As trochlea dysplasia increases, need for retinacular support increases

MPFL and medial deficiency alone--no TTT

Much of medial retinacularsupport runs to quadriceps expansion- useful in reconstruction- option of MQTFL reconstruction to quad tendon instead of MPFL reconstruction to patella

Disastrous result of patella distalization in a 21 year old woman

Severe PF arthrosis as a result

Use an osteotomy when you can transfer cartilage tracking onto healthy cartilage (Ficatexcessive lateral pressure syndrome)

Osteotomy is particularly desireablein younger patients with distal and/or lateral patella articular degeneration

PF replacement when deterioration of the PFJ is diffuse

Each case is unique, and requires careful consideration of alignment, articular cartilage lesion location, trochlea dysplasia, and peripatella retinacular support.

Use tibial tubercle transfer to align, balance tracking, and unload an articular lesion

Balance alignment and articular loading as needed before medial restoration surgery to optimize long term results

Design surgery specifically for each patient to create retinacular, tracking and articular balance
