Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Clinical Evaluation of Patellar Resurfacing With Press-Fit Osteochondral Autograft Plugs

Abstract

Patellar AOT is an effective treatment for focal patellar chondral lesions, with significant improvement in clinical follow-up. This study suggests that patients with patellar malalignment may represent a subset of patients who have a poor prognostic outlook compared with patients with normal alignment.
