Overview

Systematic review evaluates surgical reconstruction outcomes in patellar instability, highlighting successful indications and patient selection.

Key Points

  • Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction shows a reduction in redislocation rates to below 5%.
  • Postoperative Kujala scores averaged between 85 and 92, indicating significant functional improvement.
  • Patient selection based on anatomical parameters is critical for surgical success and recovery.
  • Complication rates ranged from 2% to 7%, supporting the procedure's overall effectiveness.
