Relationship between Anatomical Risk Factors, Articular Cartilage Lesions, and Patient Outcomes Following Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction

Abstract

Trochlear dysplasia was a risk factor for the development of patellofemoral cartilage lesions in this patient population. Cartilage lesions most commonly involve the distal-medial patella. There was no significant relationship between patellofemoral cartilage lesion presence, size, or grade and postoperative BPII 2.0 scores in short-term follow-up.
