BASIC ANATOMY
• The biggest sesamoid bone
• Linking the powerful quadriceps muscle to the patellar tendon
• Function :
• Main function : to improve the quadriceps efficiency by
increasing the lever arm of the extensor mechanism
• To centralize the divergent forces coming from the four heads of
the quadriceps, and to transmit tension around the femur, in the
frictionless way, to the patellar tendon and tibial tuberosity
• Hyaline articular cartilage provides an insensitive (aneural), thick,
avascular tissue that is specifically adapted to bearing high
compressive loads
• Cosmetics of the knee
BASIC ANATOMY
Bone structures :
• The patellofemoral joint consists of :
• The sulcus of the femur and the patellar articular surface
(137° ± 8°)
• Articular surface :
• 3 medial; 3 lateral; and 1 extra, nonarticulating facet
on the medial side (the odd facet)
BASIC ANATOMY
Variant type of Patella (Wiberg Classification)
LIGAMENTS AND THE EXTENSOR MECHANISM
• The extensor mechanism of the knee consists of the quadriceps
muscle group, the patella, the patellar ligament, and the tibial
tubercle
• The mechanism is responsible for the extension of the knee and
relies upon the patella as a fulcrum for a mechanical advantage
• The patellofemoral articulation centralizes the entire mechanism on
the anterior surface of the femur.
VASCULARIZATION & INNERVATION
• Six main arteries compound this ring: the supreme genicular artery, the
medial & lateral superior & inferior genicular arteries, and the anterior
tibial recurrent artery
• The anterior cutaneous innervation : nerve roots from L2 through L5
• The anteromedial innervation : genitofemoral, femoral, obturator, &
saphenous nerves
• The anterolateral inervation : lateral femoral and the lateral sural
cutaneous nerves
COMPONENTS OF PATELLAR STABILITY
• Static Structures
• MPFL primary restraint to lateral translation in 20° of flexion
• Patellotibial ligament
• Patellomeniscal ligament
• Retinaculum
• Dynamic Structures
• Quadriceps muscle

PFJ FORCES
BIOMECHANICS
PFJ CONTACT AREA
BIOMECHANICS
PFJ CONTACT PRESSURE :
• Is the ratio of the PFJR force to the contact are
• Normal knee pressure : same on both the lateral & medial facets
• 20° flexion : 2.0 Mpa
• 30° flexion : 2.4 MPa
• 60° flexion : 4.1 MPa
• 90° flexion : 4.4 Mpa
• 120° flexion : 3.5 Mpa
BIOMECHANICS
PATELLAR TRACKING :
• In full extension : "screw home" mechanism of the tibia  rotating externally in the terminal 30° of
extension, displaces the tibial tubercle laterally
• This produces the Q angle
• Tension on the quadriceps  lateral displacement vector of the patella ("valgus vector“)
• VMO, extending distally and inserting medially in the patella  Medial force
• Full extension :
• Quadriceps contracted
• Patella lies proximal to trochlea
• 10° Flexion :
• The patella is drawn into the trochlea
• The first articular contact
• Because ofthe Q angle, the patella enters
• The trochlea from the lateral side.
• 20° Flexion :
• Tibia derotates  decrease Q angle & decrease lateral vector
PATELLOFEMORAL INSTABILITY;
INTRODUCTION
• A condition characterized by repeated dislocation or subluxation of the patella secondary to minimal
trauma
• Annual incidence : 7/100.00011 & 43/200.000155
• More common in females (10-17 YO)
• Often bilateral
• Most commonly dislocates laterally
• Medial dislocation is usually iatrogenic, either as a result of excessive lateral release or overtightening
of medial structures
• Multifactorial
Most commonly occurs in 2nd-3rd decades of life
Risk factors
• previous patellar instability event
• increased Q angle
• femoral anteversion
• genu valgum
• external tibial torsion / pronated feet
FACTORS IN PATELLAR INSTABILITY
Four major anatomic factors leading to instability
(Henri Dejour et al. In 1994) :
• Trochlear Dysplasia
• Excessive TT-TG Distance
• Patellar Tilt
• Patella Alta
• Another important factor : MPFL disruption
ANATOMICAL FACTORS
BONE :
• Patella alta --> not articulate with
sulcus, losing its constraint effects
• Trochlear dysplasia
• Excessive lateral patellar tilt
• Lateral femoral condyle hypoplasia
ANATOMICAL FACTORS
MUSCLE
• Dysplastic vastus medialis oblique
(VMO) muscle
• overpull of lateral structures
• Iliotibial band
• Vastus lateralis
Passive stability
• Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL)--> avulsion of MPFL
• femoral origin-insertion is between medial epicondyle and adductor tubercle
• patellar-femoral bony structures account for stability in deeper knee flexion
• Trochlear groove morphology, patella height, patellar tracking
Dynamic stability
• Provided by vastus medialis (attaches to MPFL)
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE PFJ;
STANDING EXAMINATION
PELVIC :
• Women : exaggerates the quadriceps (Q) angle, resulting in a valgus force on the
patella
• Hip flexion contracture
FEMUR :
• Femoral anteversion or internal rotation contractures  “Squinting or Outfacing
patellae“
KNEE :
• Genu valgum or recurvatum (laxity)
• Flexion contracture
• External tibial torsion
FEET & ANKLE :
• Hindfoot valgus with or without pes planus
• Equinous deformity
SYMPTOMS AND EXAMINATION

• Normal patellar engages at the femoral sulcus : 30° - 40° of flexion
• At terminal extension  sublux laterally out of the femoral sulcus
• J-Sign
• Active quadriceps pull test :
• Knee extension  quadriceps contracted  patella move pulled superiorly in a straight line
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE PFJ;
STATIC & DYNAMICS
STATIC EXAMINATION :
• PatelloFemoral grind test (Clarke Sign); Active & Passive
• Indicative of articular injury and when coupled with crepitus
and recurrent effusion, is suggestive of degenerative
changes
• Passive Patellar Glide Test
• indicative of the tension of both the medial and lateral
retinacular structures
• Passive Patellar Tilt Test
• evaluates the tightness of the lateral retinaculum
• F : +5 - +10 deg, M : 0 - +5 deg
• Inc tilt : too loose, instability

AXIAL TANGENTIAL VIEW
3. Malghem & Maldague Lateral Rotation View (30° Lateral Rotation)
Evaluated :
• Acute or chronic patellofemoral instability
• Medial patellar avulsions
IMAGING OF THE PATELLOFEMORAL JOINT;
CT SCAN
• Many parameters observed in CT images are similar to those observed in axial views
Evaluation :
• Anatomic abnormalities
• Alignment measures
• Posterior femoral condyles
• Trochlear shape (axial & sagittal views)
• Torsional deformities such as femoral anteversion & external tibial torsion
• By superimposing images
• Tibial tubercle–trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance
• Patellar tilt
CT SCAN ;
TIBIAL TUBERCLE–TROCHLEAR GROOVE DISTANCE
• TT-TG distance is a direct measure of the extensor mechanism valgus alignment,
but it incorporates information about the forces acting on the patella produced
by femoral and tibial torsion
• TT-TG distance is calculated from superimposes two cuts :
• The bottom of the TG (proximal trochlea)
• The most proximal part of the TT
• Average normal value
• Full extension : 12 mm
• One episode of patellar dislocation : excess of 20 mm
• Uppermost limit : 20 mm
CT SCAN ;
PATELLAR TILT
• Two lines :
• one tangent to the posterior femoral condyles
• through the transverse axis of the patella, (alternatively, one cut
through the Roman arch level and another through the patellar
longer transverse axis can be superimposed)
• Patellar tilt angle in dislocation majority : >20°
CT SCAN ;
FEMORAL ANTEVERSION & EXTERNAL TIBIAL TORSION
• FA :
• Mean value : 10.8 ± 8.7°
• 15.6 ± 9° (in at least one patellar dislocation)
• ETT :
• Mean value : 33° in the patellar instability
THE LYON’S PROTOCOL
The following specific axial sections should be acquired for measurement:
• Section through both femoral necks at the top of the trochanteric fossa
• Section through the center of the patella, through its larger transverse axis
• Section through the proximal trochlea (where the intercondylar notch looks like a Roman arch, and a slight
condensation of the trochlear lateral facet subchondral bone can be observed)
• Section through the proximal tibial epiphysis, just beneath the articular surface
• Section through the proximal part of the tibial tuberosity
• Section near the ankle joint, at the base of the malleoli
IMAGING OF THE PATELLOFEMORAL JOINT;
MRI
• Common indication in young patients with knee pain
Evaluation :
• Cartilage and Soft Tissue
• Trochlear shape
• Tibial Tubercle–Trochlear Groove Distance
• Patellar Tilt (and Subluxation)
ALGORITHM FOR TREATMENT OF PATELLAR INSTABILITY
ASSOCIATED WITH MPFL
a. For patients with closed physes
b. For patients with open physes
ALGORITHM FOR TREATMENT OF PATELLAR
INSTABILITY
MANAGEMENT;
FIRST DISLOCATION
• Avoid subsequent dislocation
• Prevent persistent symptoms
• Allowing full recovery to sports as promptly as possible
• Classic Treatment : Conservative (Immobilization & Rehabilitation)
• Ideal ranging period should achieve a compromise between healing (stability) and mobility  2-6 weeks
• Arthrocentesis (Haemarthrosis)
• ROM exercise
• Quadriceps strengthening
• Contraindication : Dislocated Osteochondral Fracture
• Surgical treatment : Acute repair of torn MPFL & Retinacula or primary reconstruction
LATERAL PATELLAR DISLOCATION;
PATHOMECHANISM
• MPFL Disruption
• Most frequent at its femoral side  Redislocation by reducing the obliquity of
vastus medialis obliqus (VMO) musce vector and its medially pull
• Less frequent : Avulsion fracture of the medial structure (Retinaculum, Capsule or
MPFL)
• Osteochondral Fracture
• Occur during dislocation or relocation
• Repairable fragment should be fix to prevent Osteoarthrosis
MANAGEMENT;
CHRONIC/RECURRENT DISLOCATION
• Surgical Treatment
• Based on the root of abnormalities (single or combine procedures)
• SOFT TISSUE PROCEDURE :
• MPFL repair or reconstruction
• Lateral retinacular release
• Proximal VMO realignment
• BONY PROCEDURE :
• Tibial tubercle transfers
• Medial tibial tubercle transfer
• Distal tibial tubercle transfer
• Patellar tendon tenodesis
• Trochleoplasties
• Lateral-facet elevating trochleoplasty
• Sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty
• Bereiter’s trochleoplasty
• Patellar osteotomy
• Femoral and tibial osteotomies
SURGERY;
MPFL REPAIR OR RECONSTRUCTION
• The goal : to restore the loss of medial patellar soft tissue stabilizer
• An ideal candidate for an isolated MPFL repair or reconstruction :
• Normal or type A trochlear dysplasia
• Tibial tubercle - Trochlear sulcus angle 0-5° valgus or a TT-TG
distance ˂20 mm (at 0° of knee flexion)
• Absence of “excessive” patella alta :
- Caton-Deschamps index : ˂1.2, or
- Insall-Salvati index : ˂1.3, and
- Engagement factor <12%
• Patellar tilt <20°
SURGERY;
MPFL REPAIR - TECHNIQUE
• Diagnostic arthroscopy is first performed
• Torn from its femoral origin (Most common) :
• Longitudinal incision is made in the deep fascia & periosteum just proximal to the medial
epicondyle
• Identify of MPFL : by holding tension on the tissue with forceps, the patella is translated
laterally
• Identify inserting site by fluoroscopy
• Identify Schottle’s Point (when reconstruction will be perform)
• Two suture anchors  placed into the femoral attachment
• Repair using Mattress suture with knee 30-40° flexion
• Torn from off the patella :
• Traction on the medial end of the ligament will not restore patellar stability
• So, MPFL is repaired back to the patella
• use of nonabsorbable sutures placed through drill holes or suture anchors in the patella
• After the sutures are tied, patellar tracking is again assessed and a firm end point to lateral
patellar displacement should be appreciated
• The investing fascia is repaired prior to skin closure
• Ensure that there is no secondary site tearing  complication after repair : Residual laxity
SURGERY;
MPFL RECONSTRUCTION
GRAFT SELECTION :
• Autograft
• Gracilis (more preferable; near normal stiffness & strength to native MPFL)
• Semitendinosus (More stiffness & strength)
• Quadriceps
• Semimembranosus
• Medial retinacular tissues
• Allograft
• Synthetic graft
SURGERY;
SCHOTTLE’S POINT
SURGERY;
MPFL RECONSTRUCTION
PROCEDURES :
• Double-Strand Gracilis Autograft
• Combined Medial Patellar Tibial Ligament Reconstruction
• Single-Strand Middle Third Quadriceps Tendon Autograft
• Single-Strand Adductor Magnus Split Tendon Transfer
• Adductor Sling Technique
• Medial Collateral Ligament Sling Technique

CONTRIBUTING FACTOR FAILED
MPFL RECONSTRUCTION
• Trochlear dysplasia
• Femoral anteversion
• Ligamentous laxity
• Biomechanics : <142 N
MEDIAL PATELLAR INSTABILITY
• Due to tightness of the lateral patellar structure
• One of the most common provoking incapaciting anterior knee pain
• Major cause is Extensive LRR  iatrogenic medial subluxation
• Lateral retinacular release & additional ligament reconstruction Should not be universally performed
because MPFL reconstruction alone is sufficient to control patellar dislocation
MANAGEMENT MEDIAL PATELLAR INSTABILITY
NON OPERATIVE :
• Quadriceps strengthening
• Stretching of the Medial retinacular ligament
OPERATIVE :
• Medial retinacular release (Functional surgery)
• Lateral retinacular repair (Reconstructive surgery)
DISTAL REALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
• Medialization
• Soft Tissue Medialization or Medial Reconstruction (Immature skeletal)
• Roux-Goldthwait procedure
• Galeazzi semitendinosus tenodesis
• Bony procedure (Tuberosity Transfers)
• Roux-Elmslie-Trillat procedure
• Hughston procedure
• Distalization
• Hauser Procedure
• Anteriorization
• Maquet Technique
• Anteromedialization
• Fulkerson Technique
PROXIMAL PATELLAR REALIGNMENT PROCEDURES
Indications :
• Recurrent subluxation, failed with physiotherapy
• Recurrent dislocation
• Acute dislocation in a young, athletic patient, especially if there is an avulsion fracture from the
medial border of the patella, or lateral subluxation or lateral tilt following a closed reduction (axial
radiograph )
PROXIMAL PATELLAR REALIGNMENT PROCEDURES
QUADRICEPSPLASTY :
• MADIGAN PROCEDURE
• INSALL TUBE PROCEDURE
• CAMPBELL PROCEDURE
TROCHLEAR DYSPLASIA
• The abnormal shape of the trochlea  loss of the osseous guide to patellar tracking
• Single factor most associated with patellar instability (up to 96% of patients with OPI)
• Instead of being concave, the trochlea is flat or convex
• The normal trochlear constraint to lateral patellar displacement is lost and, as a
consequence, dislocations can occur
DEJOUR CLASSIFICATION TROCHLEAR DYSPLASIA
LATERAL FACET–ELEVATING TROCHLEOPLASTY
(ALBEE PROCEDURE)
• Oblique osteotomy under the lateral facet
• Corticocancellous bone wedge is interposed, with the apex medial & the base
lateral
• The osteotomy advances to the base of the trochlear groove but does not
disrupt it, producing a hinge in its medial aspect
• The result is that it elevates the more lateral aspect of the trochlear lateral facet
and increases its obliquity, thus increasing the containment force acting on the
patella. At least 5 mm of subchondral bone should be maintained to avoid
trochlear necrosis
• Effective for patellar containment, but it increases the patellofemoral reaction
force when it increases the trochlear protuberance
SULCUS-DEEPENING TROCHLEOPLASTY;
DEJOUR
• The main goal is to decrease the prominence of the trochlea and to create
a new groove with normal depth & orientation
• Advantage : corrects the abnormal patterns underlying the different grades
of trochlear dysplasia
• It is recommended for patients with types B & D dysplasia, in which the
prominence of the trochlea is important
• Goals :
• Create a thick osteocartilaginous flap (to minimize potential damage to
the cartilage)
• Remove the supratrochlear spur
• Create a more narrow trochlear sulcus, and
• Improve PF alignment by lateralizing the trochlear sulcus, thus
decreasing the TT-TG
BEREITER’S TROCHLEOPLASTY
• Similar to the sulcus deepening trochleoplasty, but with a thinner
and malleable osteochondral flap
• Osteochondral flap is fixed with vicryl stripes
• immediate weight bearing is permitted after trochleoplasty. No
limitation is placed on the ROM
PATELLAR OSTEOTOMY;
MORSCHER
• Anterior closing-wedge osteotomy
• Fixed with transosseous sutures
• To restore the two facets of the patella
• Risk of necrosis and nonunion
• Indication : Patellar dysplasia such as Wiberg type III & “Jaegerhut” patella,
when the articular surface is flat
• Unpopular procedure
• In such cases, the reshaping of the patella is an adjunct to trochleoplasty
FEMORAL AND TIBIAL OSTEOTOMIES
• Lower limb malalignment in excessive valgus or in torsion
• Valgus deformity increases the Q angle & enhances the dislocating pull on the
patella (>10°)
• Corrected by a lateral opening wedge or a medial closing-wedge osteotomy at the
distal femur
• Excessive femoral anteversion or external tibial rotation are most likely the torsional
deformities
• Femoral derotation osteotomy is best performed at the intertrochanteric level,
while the preferred site for tibial derotation osteotomy is proximal to the TT
POST OPERATIVE CARE;
SOFT TISSUE PROCEDURE
• No evidence to specific postoperative rehabilitation regimen
• Restricted ROM using a hinged brace from 2 to 6 weeks
• Weight-bearing status varies ranging from minimal to full weight bearing
• Demanding rehabilitation tasks from the 10- to 12-week
• Unrestricted activities commencing from 4 months onward
POST OPERATIVE CARE;
SOFT TISSUE PROCEDURE
• 1st week : The knee is immobilized in a 0° splint
• 2nd weeks : Brace at 60° flexion
• 3rd weeks : Brace at 90° flexion
• Immediate after op : Quadriceps tensioning exercise
• First 3 weeks : PWB at 15–30 kg with crutch
• 4-6 weeks : Full ROM
• After 3 moths : Normal activity
• After 6 moths : Contact sports
POST OPERATIVE CARE;
BONY PROCEDURE
• Trochleoplasty does not need weight protection or range of motion limitation
• Movement  improve cartilage healing and further molding of the trochlea; continuous passive movement (CPM) is
usually used during the first days
• First 2 weeks :
• PWB, allowed with an extension brace and aided by crutches
• The brace must be removed during the exercises
• First 6 weeks :
• Encouraged to perform exercises for range of motion, as tolerated, including isometric quadriceps and hamstring
strengthening
• Quadriceps strengthening with weights on the feet or tibial tubercle is discouraged
• After 6 weeks :
• Closed-chain & weight-bearing proprioception exercises
• Cycling with weak resistance initially
• Active ascension of the patella can be performed seated, with the leg stretched and the knee unlocked, by static &
isometric quadriceps contractions
• Quadriceps strengthening with weights on the feet or tibial tubercle is still discouraged
• Weight-bearing proprioception exercises are started when full extension is complete, first in bipodal stance and
in monopodal stance when there is no pain
• Radiograph control :
• X ray : after 6 weeks
• CT scan : after 6 months

Lower Patellofemoral Instability

  • 1. PATELLOFEMORAL INSTABILITY PEMBIMBING : Dr. Krisna Yuarno Phatama, SpOT (K) LOWER : MARET – APRIL 2021 FEB/ RAS/ SAF/ ROD
  • 2. BASIC ANATOMY • The biggest sesamoid bone • Linking the powerful quadriceps muscle to the patellar tendon • Function : • Main function : to improve the quadriceps efficiency by increasing the lever arm of the extensor mechanism • To centralize the divergent forces coming from the four heads of the quadriceps, and to transmit tension around the femur, in the frictionless way, to the patellar tendon and tibial tuberosity • Hyaline articular cartilage provides an insensitive (aneural), thick, avascular tissue that is specifically adapted to bearing high compressive loads • Cosmetics of the knee
  • 3. BASIC ANATOMY Bone structures : • The patellofemoral joint consists of : • The sulcus of the femur and the patellar articular surface (137° ± 8°) • Articular surface : • 3 medial; 3 lateral; and 1 extra, nonarticulating facet on the medial side (the odd facet)
  • 4. BASIC ANATOMY Variant type of Patella (Wiberg Classification)
  • 5. LIGAMENTS AND THE EXTENSOR MECHANISM • The extensor mechanism of the knee consists of the quadriceps muscle group, the patella, the patellar ligament, and the tibial tubercle • The mechanism is responsible for the extension of the knee and relies upon the patella as a fulcrum for a mechanical advantage • The patellofemoral articulation centralizes the entire mechanism on the anterior surface of the femur.
  • 6. VASCULARIZATION & INNERVATION • Six main arteries compound this ring: the supreme genicular artery, the medial & lateral superior & inferior genicular arteries, and the anterior tibial recurrent artery • The anterior cutaneous innervation : nerve roots from L2 through L5 • The anteromedial innervation : genitofemoral, femoral, obturator, & saphenous nerves • The anterolateral inervation : lateral femoral and the lateral sural cutaneous nerves
  • 7. COMPONENTS OF PATELLAR STABILITY • Static Structures • MPFL primary restraint to lateral translation in 20° of flexion • Patellotibial ligament • Patellomeniscal ligament • Retinaculum • Dynamic Structures • Quadriceps muscle
  • 11. BIOMECHANICS PFJ CONTACT PRESSURE : • Is the ratio of the PFJR force to the contact are • Normal knee pressure : same on both the lateral & medial facets • 20° flexion : 2.0 Mpa • 30° flexion : 2.4 MPa • 60° flexion : 4.1 MPa • 90° flexion : 4.4 Mpa • 120° flexion : 3.5 Mpa
  • 12. BIOMECHANICS PATELLAR TRACKING : • In full extension : "screw home" mechanism of the tibia  rotating externally in the terminal 30° of extension, displaces the tibial tubercle laterally • This produces the Q angle • Tension on the quadriceps  lateral displacement vector of the patella ("valgus vector“) • VMO, extending distally and inserting medially in the patella  Medial force • Full extension : • Quadriceps contracted • Patella lies proximal to trochlea • 10° Flexion : • The patella is drawn into the trochlea • The first articular contact • Because ofthe Q angle, the patella enters • The trochlea from the lateral side. • 20° Flexion : • Tibia derotates  decrease Q angle & decrease lateral vector
  • 13. PATELLOFEMORAL INSTABILITY; INTRODUCTION • A condition characterized by repeated dislocation or subluxation of the patella secondary to minimal trauma • Annual incidence : 7/100.00011 & 43/200.000155 • More common in females (10-17 YO) • Often bilateral • Most commonly dislocates laterally • Medial dislocation is usually iatrogenic, either as a result of excessive lateral release or overtightening of medial structures • Multifactorial
  • 14. Most commonly occurs in 2nd-3rd decades of life Risk factors • previous patellar instability event • increased Q angle • femoral anteversion • genu valgum • external tibial torsion / pronated feet
  • 15. FACTORS IN PATELLAR INSTABILITY Four major anatomic factors leading to instability (Henri Dejour et al. In 1994) : • Trochlear Dysplasia • Excessive TT-TG Distance • Patellar Tilt • Patella Alta • Another important factor : MPFL disruption
  • 16.
  • 17.
  • 18.
  • 19. ANATOMICAL FACTORS BONE : • Patella alta --> not articulate with sulcus, losing its constraint effects • Trochlear dysplasia • Excessive lateral patellar tilt • Lateral femoral condyle hypoplasia
  • 20.
  • 21.
  • 22. ANATOMICAL FACTORS MUSCLE • Dysplastic vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle • overpull of lateral structures • Iliotibial band • Vastus lateralis
  • 23. Passive stability • Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL)--> avulsion of MPFL • femoral origin-insertion is between medial epicondyle and adductor tubercle • patellar-femoral bony structures account for stability in deeper knee flexion • Trochlear groove morphology, patella height, patellar tracking Dynamic stability • Provided by vastus medialis (attaches to MPFL)
  • 24. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE PFJ; STANDING EXAMINATION PELVIC : • Women : exaggerates the quadriceps (Q) angle, resulting in a valgus force on the patella • Hip flexion contracture FEMUR : • Femoral anteversion or internal rotation contractures  “Squinting or Outfacing patellae“ KNEE : • Genu valgum or recurvatum (laxity) • Flexion contracture • External tibial torsion FEET & ANKLE : • Hindfoot valgus with or without pes planus • Equinous deformity
  • 25. SYMPTOMS AND EXAMINATION Symptoms • Complaints of instability • Anterior knee pain PE • Acute dislocation usually associated with a large hemarthrosis • Medial sided tenderness (over MPFL) • Patellar apprehension (+) • Increased Q angle • J sign
  • 26. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE PFJ; SEATED EXAMINATION • Patella Alta • Patella Baja • J-Sign (Instability of patella : subluxation, during flexion to extension) • Grasshopper eyes Sign
  • 27. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE PFJ; Q-ANGLE • Normal : (14°) • Female : 10° - 20° • Male : 8° - 10° • Abnormal (Insall) : > 20°
  • 28. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE PFJ; STATIC & DYNAMICS DYNAMIC EXAMINATION : • Flexion & Extension Knee • Normal patellar engages at the femoral sulcus : 30° - 40° of flexion • At terminal extension  sublux laterally out of the femoral sulcus • J-Sign • Active quadriceps pull test : • Knee extension  quadriceps contracted  patella move pulled superiorly in a straight line
  • 29. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE PFJ; STATIC & DYNAMICS STATIC EXAMINATION : • PatelloFemoral grind test (Clarke Sign); Active & Passive • Indicative of articular injury and when coupled with crepitus and recurrent effusion, is suggestive of degenerative changes • Passive Patellar Glide Test • indicative of the tension of both the medial and lateral retinacular structures • Passive Patellar Tilt Test • evaluates the tightness of the lateral retinaculum • F : +5 - +10 deg, M : 0 - +5 deg • Inc tilt : too loose, instability • Apprehension test / Fairbanks test / Smillie test
  • 30. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE PFJ; OTHERS TEST • Ober's test • Evaluate contracture of the ITB
  • 31. IMAGING OF THE PATELLOFEMORAL JOINT; X RAY AP View • Natural standing position • Knee full extension • Evaluate : • Patellar displacement • Bone quality • Alignment • Femorotibial-associated pathology • Malformations such as bipartite / multipartite patella or fractures • Loose bodies in the lateral gutter
  • 32. IMAGING OF THE PATELLOFEMORAL JOINT; X RAY Lateral view • Supine • Weight bearing 15-20° flexion / full extension, superimposition of both the posterior femoral condyles • Evaluate : • Blumensaat line is continued anteriorly by the TG line, which should stay posterior to the projection of the femoral condyles (facets) • Crossing sign, supra-trochlear spur, double-contour • Trochlear sulcus line • Trochlear dysplasia • Patellar tilt / no • Shape of the patella • Patellar height (patella alta / baja) • Location of the patella in relation to the trochlea
  • 33. IMAGING OF THE PATELLOFEMORAL JOINT; X RAY Lateral view The commonly used methods of assessment of Patella height : 1. Blumensaat's Technique 2. Insall-Salvati 3. Blackburne-Peel 4. Norman, Egund, and Ekelund 5. Caton-Deschamps 6. Grelsamer 7. Bernageau 8. New Method (Chareancholvanich)
  • 34. IMAGING OF THE PATELLOFEMORAL JOINT; AXIAL TANGENTIAL VIEW 1. Merchant View (45° flexion) • Measured : • Sulcus angle : (N : 138° ± 6° , >150° : Abnormal) • Congruence angle : (−6° ± 11°) 2. Laurin View (20° flexion) • Measured : • Lateral patellofemoral angle (LPFA) : (N : 97% open laterally & 3% parallel) • PF index : (N : 1.6 or less)
  • 35. IMAGING OF THE PATELLOFEMORAL JOINT; AXIAL TANGENTIAL VIEW 3. Malghem & Maldague Lateral Rotation View (30° Lateral Rotation) Evaluated : • Acute or chronic patellofemoral instability • Medial patellar avulsions
  • 36. IMAGING OF THE PATELLOFEMORAL JOINT; CT SCAN • Many parameters observed in CT images are similar to those observed in axial views Evaluation : • Anatomic abnormalities • Alignment measures • Posterior femoral condyles • Trochlear shape (axial & sagittal views) • Torsional deformities such as femoral anteversion & external tibial torsion • By superimposing images • Tibial tubercle–trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance • Patellar tilt
  • 37. CT SCAN ; TIBIAL TUBERCLE–TROCHLEAR GROOVE DISTANCE • TT-TG distance is a direct measure of the extensor mechanism valgus alignment, but it incorporates information about the forces acting on the patella produced by femoral and tibial torsion • TT-TG distance is calculated from superimposes two cuts : • The bottom of the TG (proximal trochlea) • The most proximal part of the TT • Average normal value • Full extension : 12 mm • One episode of patellar dislocation : excess of 20 mm • Uppermost limit : 20 mm
  • 38. CT SCAN ; PATELLAR TILT • Two lines : • one tangent to the posterior femoral condyles • through the transverse axis of the patella, (alternatively, one cut through the Roman arch level and another through the patellar longer transverse axis can be superimposed) • Patellar tilt angle in dislocation majority : >20°
  • 39. CT SCAN ; FEMORAL ANTEVERSION & EXTERNAL TIBIAL TORSION • FA : • Mean value : 10.8 ± 8.7° • 15.6 ± 9° (in at least one patellar dislocation) • ETT : • Mean value : 33° in the patellar instability
  • 40. THE LYON’S PROTOCOL The following specific axial sections should be acquired for measurement: • Section through both femoral necks at the top of the trochanteric fossa • Section through the center of the patella, through its larger transverse axis • Section through the proximal trochlea (where the intercondylar notch looks like a Roman arch, and a slight condensation of the trochlear lateral facet subchondral bone can be observed) • Section through the proximal tibial epiphysis, just beneath the articular surface • Section through the proximal part of the tibial tuberosity • Section near the ankle joint, at the base of the malleoli
  • 41. IMAGING OF THE PATELLOFEMORAL JOINT; MRI • Common indication in young patients with knee pain Evaluation : • Cartilage and Soft Tissue • Trochlear shape • Tibial Tubercle–Trochlear Groove Distance • Patellar Tilt (and Subluxation)
  • 42. ALGORITHM FOR TREATMENT OF PATELLAR INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH MPFL a. For patients with closed physes b. For patients with open physes
  • 43. ALGORITHM FOR TREATMENT OF PATELLAR INSTABILITY
  • 44. MANAGEMENT; FIRST DISLOCATION • Avoid subsequent dislocation • Prevent persistent symptoms • Allowing full recovery to sports as promptly as possible • Classic Treatment : Conservative (Immobilization & Rehabilitation) • Ideal ranging period should achieve a compromise between healing (stability) and mobility  2-6 weeks • Arthrocentesis (Haemarthrosis) • ROM exercise • Quadriceps strengthening • Contraindication : Dislocated Osteochondral Fracture • Surgical treatment : Acute repair of torn MPFL & Retinacula or primary reconstruction
  • 45. LATERAL PATELLAR DISLOCATION; PATHOMECHANISM • MPFL Disruption • Most frequent at its femoral side  Redislocation by reducing the obliquity of vastus medialis obliqus (VMO) musce vector and its medially pull • Less frequent : Avulsion fracture of the medial structure (Retinaculum, Capsule or MPFL) • Osteochondral Fracture • Occur during dislocation or relocation • Repairable fragment should be fix to prevent Osteoarthrosis
  • 46. MANAGEMENT; CHRONIC/RECURRENT DISLOCATION • Surgical Treatment • Based on the root of abnormalities (single or combine procedures) • SOFT TISSUE PROCEDURE : • MPFL repair or reconstruction • Lateral retinacular release • Proximal VMO realignment • BONY PROCEDURE : • Tibial tubercle transfers • Medial tibial tubercle transfer • Distal tibial tubercle transfer • Patellar tendon tenodesis • Trochleoplasties • Lateral-facet elevating trochleoplasty • Sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty • Bereiter’s trochleoplasty • Patellar osteotomy • Femoral and tibial osteotomies
  • 47. SURGERY; MPFL REPAIR OR RECONSTRUCTION • The goal : to restore the loss of medial patellar soft tissue stabilizer • An ideal candidate for an isolated MPFL repair or reconstruction : • Normal or type A trochlear dysplasia • Tibial tubercle - Trochlear sulcus angle 0-5° valgus or a TT-TG distance ˂20 mm (at 0° of knee flexion) • Absence of “excessive” patella alta : - Caton-Deschamps index : ˂1.2, or - Insall-Salvati index : ˂1.3, and - Engagement factor <12% • Patellar tilt <20°
  • 48. SURGERY; MPFL REPAIR - TECHNIQUE • Diagnostic arthroscopy is first performed • Torn from its femoral origin (Most common) : • Longitudinal incision is made in the deep fascia & periosteum just proximal to the medial epicondyle • Identify of MPFL : by holding tension on the tissue with forceps, the patella is translated laterally • Identify inserting site by fluoroscopy • Identify Schottle’s Point (when reconstruction will be perform) • Two suture anchors  placed into the femoral attachment • Repair using Mattress suture with knee 30-40° flexion • Torn from off the patella : • Traction on the medial end of the ligament will not restore patellar stability • So, MPFL is repaired back to the patella • use of nonabsorbable sutures placed through drill holes or suture anchors in the patella • After the sutures are tied, patellar tracking is again assessed and a firm end point to lateral patellar displacement should be appreciated • The investing fascia is repaired prior to skin closure • Ensure that there is no secondary site tearing  complication after repair : Residual laxity
  • 49. SURGERY; MPFL RECONSTRUCTION GRAFT SELECTION : • Autograft • Gracilis (more preferable; near normal stiffness & strength to native MPFL) • Semitendinosus (More stiffness & strength) • Quadriceps • Semimembranosus • Medial retinacular tissues • Allograft • Synthetic graft
  • 51. SURGERY; MPFL RECONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES : • Double-Strand Gracilis Autograft • Combined Medial Patellar Tibial Ligament Reconstruction • Single-Strand Middle Third Quadriceps Tendon Autograft • Single-Strand Adductor Magnus Split Tendon Transfer • Adductor Sling Technique • Medial Collateral Ligament Sling Technique
  • 53. SURGERY; GRAFT CONSIDERATION Technique Femoral attachment Patellar attachment Tensile strength; Normal MPFL : 208 N Consideration / Disadvantages / Complication Gracilis tendon grafting Anatomical MPFL insertion site Superomedial border, proximal one-third of the patella ↑ N (837 ± 207 Graft size; susceptible to rupture Semitendinosus tendon grafting Anatomical MPFL site; tenodesis on the adductor magnus tendon Superomedial border, proximal one-third of the patella ↑ N (1216 N) Patella fracture Patellar tendon grafting Area between the medial epicondyle and adductor tubercle Periosteum between the proximal and middle-third of the patella ↑ N (1403 N) Extensor mechanism weakness; anterior knee pain; patella baja Quadriceps tendon grafting Just distal to the adductor tubercle and superoposterior to medial femoral epicondyle (anatomical MPFL insertion site) Superomedial border, proximal one-third of the patella ↑ N (2352 N) Graft length; quadriceps muscle shortening Medial Collateral Ligament the femoral insertion of the MPFL than its anatomic Location & more vertical arm does not anatomically duplicate the MPTL transferred tendon is sutured to the anterior surface of the patella with the knee flexed to 30 degrees ↑ N (799 ± 209 N) Less strength & not ture anatomical insertion Adductor Magnus Spli from origin (split tech); dissection of distal tendon insertion (sling tech) Superomedial aspect of patella (Split tech); Mid point of medial aspect (Sling tech) ↑ N (350 N) The disadvantage of this technique is also that one cannot always predict the length of the tendon that can to be harvested, which may compromise the ultimate patellar fixation.
  • 54. CONTRIBUTING FACTOR FAILED MPFL RECONSTRUCTION • Trochlear dysplasia • Femoral anteversion • Ligamentous laxity • Biomechanics : <142 N
  • 55. MEDIAL PATELLAR INSTABILITY • Due to tightness of the lateral patellar structure • One of the most common provoking incapaciting anterior knee pain • Major cause is Extensive LRR  iatrogenic medial subluxation • Lateral retinacular release & additional ligament reconstruction Should not be universally performed because MPFL reconstruction alone is sufficient to control patellar dislocation
  • 56. MANAGEMENT MEDIAL PATELLAR INSTABILITY NON OPERATIVE : • Quadriceps strengthening • Stretching of the Medial retinacular ligament OPERATIVE : • Medial retinacular release (Functional surgery) • Lateral retinacular repair (Reconstructive surgery)
  • 57. DISTAL REALIGNMENT PROCEDURE • Medialization • Soft Tissue Medialization or Medial Reconstruction (Immature skeletal) • Roux-Goldthwait procedure • Galeazzi semitendinosus tenodesis • Bony procedure (Tuberosity Transfers) • Roux-Elmslie-Trillat procedure • Hughston procedure • Distalization • Hauser Procedure • Anteriorization • Maquet Technique • Anteromedialization • Fulkerson Technique
  • 58. PROXIMAL PATELLAR REALIGNMENT PROCEDURES Indications : • Recurrent subluxation, failed with physiotherapy • Recurrent dislocation • Acute dislocation in a young, athletic patient, especially if there is an avulsion fracture from the medial border of the patella, or lateral subluxation or lateral tilt following a closed reduction (axial radiograph )
  • 59. PROXIMAL PATELLAR REALIGNMENT PROCEDURES QUADRICEPSPLASTY : • MADIGAN PROCEDURE • INSALL TUBE PROCEDURE • CAMPBELL PROCEDURE
  • 60. TROCHLEAR DYSPLASIA • The abnormal shape of the trochlea  loss of the osseous guide to patellar tracking • Single factor most associated with patellar instability (up to 96% of patients with OPI) • Instead of being concave, the trochlea is flat or convex • The normal trochlear constraint to lateral patellar displacement is lost and, as a consequence, dislocations can occur
  • 62. LATERAL FACET–ELEVATING TROCHLEOPLASTY (ALBEE PROCEDURE) • Oblique osteotomy under the lateral facet • Corticocancellous bone wedge is interposed, with the apex medial & the base lateral • The osteotomy advances to the base of the trochlear groove but does not disrupt it, producing a hinge in its medial aspect • The result is that it elevates the more lateral aspect of the trochlear lateral facet and increases its obliquity, thus increasing the containment force acting on the patella. At least 5 mm of subchondral bone should be maintained to avoid trochlear necrosis • Effective for patellar containment, but it increases the patellofemoral reaction force when it increases the trochlear protuberance
  • 63. SULCUS-DEEPENING TROCHLEOPLASTY; DEJOUR • The main goal is to decrease the prominence of the trochlea and to create a new groove with normal depth & orientation • Advantage : corrects the abnormal patterns underlying the different grades of trochlear dysplasia • It is recommended for patients with types B & D dysplasia, in which the prominence of the trochlea is important • Goals : • Create a thick osteocartilaginous flap (to minimize potential damage to the cartilage) • Remove the supratrochlear spur • Create a more narrow trochlear sulcus, and • Improve PF alignment by lateralizing the trochlear sulcus, thus decreasing the TT-TG
  • 64. BEREITER’S TROCHLEOPLASTY • Similar to the sulcus deepening trochleoplasty, but with a thinner and malleable osteochondral flap • Osteochondral flap is fixed with vicryl stripes • immediate weight bearing is permitted after trochleoplasty. No limitation is placed on the ROM
  • 65. PATELLAR OSTEOTOMY; MORSCHER • Anterior closing-wedge osteotomy • Fixed with transosseous sutures • To restore the two facets of the patella • Risk of necrosis and nonunion • Indication : Patellar dysplasia such as Wiberg type III & “Jaegerhut” patella, when the articular surface is flat • Unpopular procedure • In such cases, the reshaping of the patella is an adjunct to trochleoplasty
  • 66. FEMORAL AND TIBIAL OSTEOTOMIES • Lower limb malalignment in excessive valgus or in torsion • Valgus deformity increases the Q angle & enhances the dislocating pull on the patella (>10°) • Corrected by a lateral opening wedge or a medial closing-wedge osteotomy at the distal femur • Excessive femoral anteversion or external tibial rotation are most likely the torsional deformities • Femoral derotation osteotomy is best performed at the intertrochanteric level, while the preferred site for tibial derotation osteotomy is proximal to the TT
  • 67. POST OPERATIVE CARE; SOFT TISSUE PROCEDURE • No evidence to specific postoperative rehabilitation regimen • Restricted ROM using a hinged brace from 2 to 6 weeks • Weight-bearing status varies ranging from minimal to full weight bearing • Demanding rehabilitation tasks from the 10- to 12-week • Unrestricted activities commencing from 4 months onward
  • 68. POST OPERATIVE CARE; SOFT TISSUE PROCEDURE • 1st week : The knee is immobilized in a 0° splint • 2nd weeks : Brace at 60° flexion • 3rd weeks : Brace at 90° flexion • Immediate after op : Quadriceps tensioning exercise • First 3 weeks : PWB at 15–30 kg with crutch • 4-6 weeks : Full ROM • After 3 moths : Normal activity • After 6 moths : Contact sports
  • 69. POST OPERATIVE CARE; BONY PROCEDURE • Trochleoplasty does not need weight protection or range of motion limitation • Movement  improve cartilage healing and further molding of the trochlea; continuous passive movement (CPM) is usually used during the first days • First 2 weeks : • PWB, allowed with an extension brace and aided by crutches • The brace must be removed during the exercises • First 6 weeks : • Encouraged to perform exercises for range of motion, as tolerated, including isometric quadriceps and hamstring strengthening • Quadriceps strengthening with weights on the feet or tibial tubercle is discouraged
  • 70. • After 6 weeks : • Closed-chain & weight-bearing proprioception exercises • Cycling with weak resistance initially • Active ascension of the patella can be performed seated, with the leg stretched and the knee unlocked, by static & isometric quadriceps contractions • Quadriceps strengthening with weights on the feet or tibial tubercle is still discouraged • Weight-bearing proprioception exercises are started when full extension is complete, first in bipodal stance and in monopodal stance when there is no pain • Radiograph control : • X ray : after 6 weeks • CT scan : after 6 months POST OPERATIVE CARE; BONY PROCEDURE
