Stopped: Due to insufficient participant enrollment. Recruitment significantly lagged behind projections, and a decline in eligible patients at the study site made it unlikely that the study could be successfully completed within a reasonable timeframe.
Patellar dislocations cause pain and functional decline in adolescents, which can be restored by a MPFL reconstruction with or without tibial tuberosity transposition. Yet, many reconstruction methods are being used clinically as consensus on the ideal MPFL reconstruction method is lacking. We propose a soft-tissue loop reconstruction method which potentially decreases the risk for of iatrogenic fracture of the patella and prevents femoral tunnel malposition.
