Outcomes after trochleoplasty.
[trochlear dysplasia]
Trochlear
dysplasia
is
a
risk
factor
for
patellofemoral
instability
.
Trochleoplasty
involves
reshaping
the
trochlear
groove
to
provide
increased
patellofemoral
stability
.
We
obtained
post-operative
radiographs
,
MRI
,
and
outcome
scores
in
6
patients
who
underwent
this
procedure
.
All
6
of
the
patients
were
satisfied
with
their
outcome
following
trochleoplasty
with
no
recurrent
instability
events
.
Mean
bony
sulcus
angles
decreased
from
148
degrees
to
129
degrees
.
However
,
4
of
the
6
patients
reported
anterior
knee
pain
.
Similar
to
previously
published
studies
,
trochleoplasty
can
reliably
improve
patellofemoral
stability
in
patients
with
severe
trochlear
dysplasia
,
but
a
high
percentage
of
patients
will
have
pain
postoperatively
.
