Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction for subluxating patellofemoral arthroplasty
M. R. Carmont; T. Crane; P. Thompson; T. SpaldingKnee
Patellofemoral joint (PFJ) arthroplasty has become a successful operation for patellofemoral osteoarthritis. The post-operative complication of patella subluxation is uncommon.
We report the stabilisation of a subluxating patella following PFJ arthroplasty using autogenous hamstring tendons. Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction may be considered a method of stabilising a subluxating patellofemoral replacement in patients for whom revision arthroplasty is not recommended.
