Overview

Retrospective cohort study evaluates functional outcomes and redislocation rates in MPFL surgery, indicating age is crucial.

Key Points

  • Older age negatively impacts functional outcomes after isolated MPFL reconstruction, indicating the need for careful patient selection.
  • Among 62 patients, 90.3% reported satisfaction with the outcome, while only 6.5% experienced recurrent dislocation.
  • No significant differences in functional outcomes were found between genders, nor was there a correlation with body mass index.
  • Statistically significant correlations were observed between functional outcomes and age at surgery, suggesting young patients may fare better.
