anteromedialization versus distomedialization.
Clinical and functional outcome comparison.
Dei Giudici L, Enea D, Fravisini M, Canè PP, Gigante A
4. BACKGROUND
Patello femoral malalignment
Altered load and pressure distribution on chondral surface
Chondral degeneration – anterior knee pain – impaired function
Dislocations and subluxations
5. BACKGROUND
Symptomatic patello femoral malalignment = surgical correction of the cause
- Altered TTTG
- Patella Alta

6. METHODS
AIM: compare clinical mid termt outcomes of two standardized transposition
(Fulkerson: antero-medialization – Dejour: disto-medialization) in patients with
symptomatic PFJ malalignment
DESIGN: retrospective review of cases referred to 2 distinct centers
INCLUSION
Symptomatic unilateral condition
Minimum 6 months of
conservative treatment
TTTG > 20 mm on CT scan
Signed informed consent
EXCLUSION
Age <17 yo
Other intrarticular disorders
Previous knee surgeries
Reumathic and infective dieseases
Uncompleted record files
7. METHODS
GROUP A: Fulkerson Osteotomy – 0,9mm medialization + 0,5mm
anteriorization
GROUP B: Dejour Osteotomy – 10mm distalization + 0,7mm distalization
Lateral release always associated
Standardized rehab program
Assessment of demographic, clinical, and functional data
Statistical analysis:
Wilcoxon test
Parametric t-test
Min follow up : 6 years
8. RESULTS
42 reviewed patients
Group A:
16 patient (6M, 10F)
Age: 36 yo
9 experienced dislocations
Group B:
26 patient (5M, 21F)
Age: 33 yo
22 experienced dislocations

11. CONCLUSIONS
Outcome overlapping for anteromedialization and
distomedialization
Patients with stable PFJ have a limited effect from a distalization
surgerie. It should be associated to other surgical concomitant
procedures
The lack of significant differences between group A and B, despite
the good outcomes obtained at the final follow up, can be
explained by the unloading of the articular cartilage
The «perfect transposition» requires an extensive pre-op planning,
and should be tailored on the individual patient
