Abstract EN
Aim.
The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical results and MRI scans after transpatellar osteochondral fracture fixation following patellar dislocation.
Methods.
Our study group comprised 17 patients with patellar dislocation followed by osteochondral fracture of the articular surface of the patella.
All patients underwent surgery where the fractured osteochondral fragments of the patella were attached using the transpatellar suture technique.
The mean age at the time of surgery was 14.1 years, and the mean follow-up period was 7.5 years.
Results.
The results of the patellar compression test and the apprehension test were negative in all patients.
The mean Lysholm and Kujala scores were 89.2 and 89.6, respectively.
The MRI scan revealed healing of the fixed fragment and restoration of the articular surface in all patients.
In 16 cases, subchondral bone of the fixed fragment area was described as irregular: its articular cartilage was narrowed and not homogenous.
Progressive degenerative changes were observed in the patellofemoral joint at follow-up in three patients.
Conclusions.
By fixing osteochondral fragments, the patellar articular surface can be restored.
The MRI scans show that the cartilage in the reconstructed surface is narrowed after a mean 7.5-year follow-up.
