Abstract
Acute patella dislocation occurs primarily in young active patients. After art dislocation, 17‐42% are likely to experience further dislocations, which substantially increase the risk developing subsequent patellofemoral instability, knee pain and decreased knee function. Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) is the most commonly addressed surgical procedure to treat recurrent patellofemoral instability This study aims to assess the functional outcomes of patients undergoing medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using tensor fascia lata with anchor suture fixation and also assess the postoperative complications and patient’s satisfaction level. This Prospective Study is carried out in the Department of Orthopaedics in Bhaskar medical College, Hyderabad, Telangana during February 2023‐November 2023 that consists of 10 patients. Associated ligamentous injuries of the knee joint and previous history of bony correction along with medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction are excluded from this study. The clinical evaluation was performed using Kujala knee score and visual analogue scale scores. Postoperative satisfaction level was performed using a self‐constructed questionnaire. Ten cases were followed up for a period varying from 2‐10 months after medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using Tensor Fascia lata harvest with anchor suture fixation in Recurrent Patellar Dislocation. Functional outcome of all the patients is well improved after the procedure and all the patients can perform Maximum range of knee flexion by 8‐10 weeks. MPFL reconstruction using tensor Fascia lata for the recurrent patella dislocation provides satisfactory functional outcomes with minimal complications and is a cost‐effective method for countries like India.
