Retrospective cohort study showed low recurrent dislocation rates in pediatric patients with patellar instability, suggesting allografts are a safe option.
Key Points
Only 2.8% of patients had recurrent dislocation, indicating effective stabilization for patellar instability.
Out of 35 patients, 17.1% experienced complications, but most were minor with only one requiring revision surgery.
Retrospective cohort study conducted between 2019 and 2022 provides valuable insights into allograft use in pediatric MPFLR.
Findings support the use of allografts, although further studies are needed to confirm long-term safety and efficacy.
