- Abstract:
Recurrent dislocations of the patella are most frequently seen in adolescents and young adults. The risk for recurrency is, like in dislocations of the shoulder, higher in younger patients. At the same time, anatomical abnormalities occur more often in this group of patients. When instability of the patella leads to restrictions in ADL or sports, surgical stabilisation can be the treatment of choice. To decide which operation is indicated, the cause of the patellofemoral instability has to be tracked down by performing physical examination and radiographic imaging. In most cases the cause is a combination of boney abnormalities (patella alta, trochlear dysplasia or lateralisation of the tibial tuberosity) and insufficiency of the medial soft tissues (in particular the medial patellofemoral ligament). We describe the different pathomechanisms of patellofemoral instability and the latest insights about the operative treatment options. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract:
Recidiverende patellaluxaties komen het meest frequent voor bij adolescenten en jongvolwassenen. Het risico op recidief is, net als bij schouderluxaties, hoger bij jongere patiënten, en bij de jongere patiënten komen ook vaker anatomische afwijkingen voor. Als de patella-instabiliteit leidt tot beperkingen in ADL of bij sport kan gekozen worden voor operatieve stabilisatie. Om te bepalen welke operatie geïndiceerd is, moet de onderliggende oorzaak worden opgespoord met lichamelijk onderzoek en röntgendiagnostiek. De oorzaak is vaak een combinatie van ossale afwijkingen (patella alta, trochleadysplasie of lateralisatie van de tuberositas tibiae) en insufficiëntie van de mediale weke delen, met name van het mediale patellofemorale ligament (MPFL). We beschrijven de verschillende pathomechanismen van patellofemorale instabiliteit en de nieuwste inzichten in de operatieve behandeling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
