Résumé
(1) To determine applied patellar drilling techniques for medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction among members of the International Patellofemoral Study Group (IPSG) and (2) to evaluate the risk of patellar fracture for various patellar bone tunnel locations based on a finite element analysis (FEA) model. In the first part of the study, an online survey on current MPFL reconstruction techniques was conducted among members of the IPSG. In the second part of the study, a three-dimensional FEA model of a healthy knee joint was created using a computed tomography scan. Patient-specific bone density was integrated into the patella, and cartilage of 3 mm thickness was modeled for the patellofemoral joint. According to the survey's results, two different types of patellar bone tunnels (bone socket and transpatellar bone tunnel) were simulated. The risk of patellar fracture was evaluated based on the fracture risk volume (FRV) obtained from the FEA. Finite element analysis revealed that subchondral bone socket tunnel placement is associated with the lowest FRV but increased with an anterior offset (1-5 mm). Transpatellar bone tunnels violating the lateral or anterior cortex showed a higher FRV compared to bone socket, with the highest values observed when the anterior cortex was penetrated. Violation of the anterior or lateral patellar cortex using transpatellar bone tunnels increased FRV compared to a subchondral patellar bone socket tunnel. In MPFL reconstruction, subchondral patellar bone socket tunnels should be considered for patellar graft fixation to avoid the risk of postoperative patellar fracture. Survey; Descriptive laboratory study/Level V.
