Underlying Pathology

Patellar dislocation is considered to be an infrequent complication post total knee arthroplasty, however identifying the exact underlying pathology that led to this condition is critical, rupture medial structure could result inpatellar subluxation or permanent dislocation. We present this case report of medial patellofemoral ligament rapture reconstruction that was done to treat this unfortunate event of chronic patellar permanent dislocation following total knee arthroplasty that was neglected for four months after sustaining a twisting injury.

Component Revision

Patella instability is a rare but serious complication seen following total knee arthroplasty. The typical cause of patella instability in this setting is malpositioned components. While the mainstay of treatment is recognizing and correcting any malpositioning of the components, continued instability can remain and be a difficult problem to treat. Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction can be a helpful adjunct for the surgeon when faced with cases of continued instability. In this case report, we describe the successful use of MPFL reconstruction in conjunction with component revision for the treatment of postarthroplasty patella instability.
