Zhang Jian-bing, Hao Jian-qiao, Shen Yun-long, Wang He-wei, Xue Yong-an, Liu Bin. Analysis of patellar maltracking after arthroscopic lateral retinacular release[J]. Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research, 2014, 18(51): 8330-8336.
Quantitative analysis of participants Altogether, 43 cases met the inclusion, but 6 patients with external rotation of the femur were excluded. Three patients were lost to follow-up evaluation. At last, 34 patients (57 knees) were enrolled in the study. These 34 patients (57 knees) were located and the study was completed via follow-up. The mean follow-up was (48.0±9.5) months (ranging 9-65 months), while the medical history range was from 1.0 to 5.5 years. Of the 57 knees (34 cases), 45 (78%) were from female patients and 12 (21%) from male patients. Baseline comparison Patellar maltracking unchanged group and patellar maltracking improved group were compared in baseline (Table 2). "
Variation of patellar tracking after arthroscopic lateral retinacular release According to previously published research[8] and our experience, abnormal CA and PLTA values should be improved to nearly normal values (CA: -6°-6°, PLTA: 0°-5°) after LRR. Mean preoperative CA and PLTA values were (23.86±11.39)° and (43.59±10.88)° for 10° of knee flexion, (23.97±11.56)° and (43.70±11.67)° for 20° of knee flexion, (24.10±11.49)° and (43.73±11.53)° for 30° of knee flexion, and (23.51±11.91)° and (43.27±12.13)° for 40° of knee flexion, respectively. The overall mean preoperative FMTA was (10.14±6.45)°, which did not change markedly during the four knee flexion phases. Mean postoperative CA and PLTA values were (11.53± 9.12)° and (12.73± 10.63)° for 10° of knee flexion, (11.67±8.93)° and (12.85± 11.19)° for 20° of knee flexion, (11.97±9.31)° and (12.54± 10.19)° for 30° of knee flexion, and (10.97±8.45)° and (11.09±11.10)° for 40° of knee flexion, respectively. The mean postoperative FMTA was (10.14±6.45)°. Mean FMTA remained unchanged after LRR, regardless of the knee flexion phase. There were 17 knees in which patellar tracking (as indicated by CA and PLTA values) did not improve after surgery and 40 knees in which patellar tracking improved after surgery. The quasi constant FMTA was further examined by comparison between the patellar maltracking unchanged group and patellar maltracking improved group using the Wilcoxon rank test (P > 0.05). Lysholm scores were not different between the two groups before and after LRR, nor were CA and PLTA values before LRR. After LRR, CA and PLTA values were significantly lower in the patellar maltracking changed group compared to the patellar maltracking unchanged group (P < 0.01; Table 1). As shown in Figure 2, FMTA influenced patellar-maltracking recovery after LRR. When FMTA was less than 9° or greater than 9°, postoperative CA and PLTA values were significantly different from preoperative values. Patellar tracking improvement did not meet preoperative expectations when the FMTA was less than 9°. Otherwise, we gathered from some patients that bilateral femoral distal ends presented a different extent of torsion, whose side of the larger FMTA had a better patellar tracking recovery than the lesser side (Figure 3). The evidence also substantiated the findings of the research. "
