Abstract
PURPOSE Implant-mediated guided growth (IMGG) is used to address coronal plane deformity in skeletally immature patients. Few studies have reported on IMGG and simultaneous medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction for paediatric patients with concurrent genu valgum and patellofemoral instability (PFI). This study aimed to report on the outcomes of these simultaneous procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective review of paediatric patients undergoing simultaneous MPFL reconstruction and IMGG between 2016 and 2023. Mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) and mechanical axis deviation (MAD) were measured on full-length hip-to-ankle plain radiographs. Measurements were taken preoperatively, prior to implant removal and/or at final follow-up with minimum 1-year clinical follow-up. RESULTS A total of 25 extremities in 22 patients (10 female) underwent simultaneous IMGG and MPFL reconstruction. The mean age at surgery was 12.6 ± 1.7 years. The mean duration of implant retention was 18.6 ± 11.3 months. Nineteen extremities (76%) underwent implant removal by final follow-up. Preoperative HKA corrected from a mean of 5.8 ± 2.3° to -0.8 ± 4.5° at implant removal or final follow-up (p < 0.001), with mLDFA and MAD similarly improving (both p < 0.001). HKA corrected a mean of 0.7 ± 0.9° per month, while mLDFA and MAD corrected a mean of 0.5 ± 0.6°/month and 2 ± 3 mm/month, respectively. At the time of implant removal or final follow-up, 88% of patients demonstrated alignment within 5° of neutral. Only one extremity experienced subsequent PFI (4%). For 14 patients who underwent implant removal with further imaging at a mean of 7.8 ± 4.9 months, only one patient (7%) had a valgus rebound to an HKA > 5°. CONCLUSION Simultaneous MPFL reconstruction and IMGG provided successful correction of lower extremity malalignment with only one recurrence of PFI. This approach is a reliable surgical option for skeletally immature patients with genu valgum and PFI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4 case series.

Tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance is significantly decreased by medial closing wedge distal femoral osteotomy. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2024; 32:287-294. [PMID: 38270286 DOI: 10.1002/ksa.12053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE While medial closing wedge distal femoral osteotomy (MCWDFO) has been used to address patella instability combined with valgus malalignment, its impact on patellofemoral parameters remains uncharted. Hence, this study seeks to establish a three-dimensional (3D) planning of MCWDFO and measure its effect on the tibial tubercle - trochlear groove distance (TTTG) through simulation and calculation. METHODS MCWDFO with a stepwise increment of one-degree varisation (1°-15°) was performed on 3D surface models of 14 lower extremities with valgus malalignment and 24 lower extremities with neutral alignment of the lower limb, resulting in a total of 608 simulations. Anatomic landmarks were employed to measure hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), TTTG, and femoral torsion for each simulation. A mathematical formula was adopted to calculate TTTG changes following MCWDFO, and subsequently the mean simulated and calculated TTTG values were compared. Following a standardised protocol, MCWDFO was performed without rotational changes. RESULTS MCWDFO exhibited an almost linear reduction in TTTG, at a rate of approximately -1.05 ± 0.13 mm per 1° of varisation, demonstrating a strong negative correlation (R = -0.83; p < 0.001). Limb alignment did not exert an influence on TTTG change; however, it correlated with tibial plateau width. The mean difference between the simulated and calculated TTTG values amounted to 0.03 ± 0.03 mm per 1° varisation (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The TTTG distance is linearly reduced by 1.05 mm for every 1° of varisation within the varus correction range of 0°-15° during MCWDFO. Patients with combined valgus and patellar instability may benefit from MCWDFO due to frequently pathological TTTG. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, descriptive laboratory study.

TT-TG distance decreases after open wedge distal femoral varization osteotomy in patients with genu valgum & patellar instability. A pilot 3D computed tomography simulation study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:753.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genu valgum is considered to be a risk factor for patellar instability. Correction of valgus alone or combined with a tibial tuberosity medialization has been described. However, changes occurring in the tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance after a lateral distal femoral opening wedge osteotomy (LDF-OWO) are not known. PURPOSE This study aimed to define changes in TT-TG distance with increasing amounts of valgus correction after LDF-OWO. METHODS Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography (3D-CT) scans of six patients (two females and four males) aged between 19 and 35 years with genu valgum and patellar instability were analyzed. 3D models of femoral, tibial, and patellar bones were created with the advanced segment option of Mimics 21® software. An oblique lateral opening wedge osteotomy of the distal femur was simulated in 2-degree increments up to 12 degrees of varus opening. Change in TT-TG distance was measured in mm on 3D models of the knee. RESULTS Compared to baseline without osteotomy, the TT-TG distance decreased significantly (p < 0.05) for all corrections from 2 to 12 degrees in 2° steps. The TT-TG distance decreased by an average of 1.7 mm for every 2 degrees of varus opening. CONCLUSION Lateral opening wedge distal femoral osteotomy causes a decrease in TT-TG distance. The surgeon should be aware of the magnitude of this change (1.7 mm decrease for every 2° increment of valgus opening).

Abstract
➤ Patellar instability represents a common problem with an evolving understanding and multifactorial pathoetiology. Treatment plans should be based on the identification of contributing anatomical factors and tailored to each individual patient. ➤ Risks for recurrent instability are dependent on several patient-specific factors including patella alta, increased tibial tubercle-to-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, trochlear dysplasia, younger skeletal age, and ligamentous laxity. ➤ Cartilage or osteochondral lesions and/or fractures are commonly observed in first-time patellar dislocation, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be strongly considered. Advanced imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT) or MRI, should also be obtained preoperatively to identify predisposing factors and guide surgical treatment. ➤ Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction with anatomical femoral tunnel positioning is associated with lower recurrence rates compared with MPFL repair and has become a common and successful reconstructive surgical option in cases of instability. ➤ Lateral retinacular tightness can be addressed with lateral retinacular release or lengthening, but these procedures should not be performed in isolation. ➤ Tibial tubercle osteotomy is a powerful reconstructive tool in the setting of underlying skeletal risk factors for instability and can be of particular benefit in the presence of increased TT-TG distance (>20 mm), and/or in the setting of patella alta. ➤ The indications for trochleoplasty are still developing along with the clinical evidence, but trochleoplasty may be indicated in some cases of severe trochlear dysplasia. Several surgical techniques have indications in specific clinical scenarios and populations, and indications, risks, and benefits to each are progressing with our understanding. ➤ Combined femoral derotational osteotomy and MPFL reconstruction can be considered for patients with a femoral anteversion angle of >30° to improve patient outcomes and reduce recurrence rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have reported that lateral hinge fracture (LHF) has a negative effect on bone healing at the osteotomy site after medial closing wedge distal femoral osteotomy (MCDFO). However, limited evidence exists in the literature regarding the predictive factors for LHF in MCDFO. HYPOTHESIS A large medial closing gap and a lateral hinge position in the supracondylar area would increase plain radiography-based and/or computed tomography (CT)-based LHF in MCDFO. STUDY DESIGN Case control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 67 knees of 53 patients (mean age, 37.4 ± 16.9 years) who underwent MCDFO between May 2009 and June 2021. The surgical indications for MCDFO were genu valgum deformity combined with either lateral compartment osteoarthritis or recurrent patellar dislocation. The presence of LHF was evaluated based on immediate postoperative plain radiography and CT scans. The predictive factors for LHF in MCDFO were investigated using multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS LHFs were identified in 21 knees (31.3%) through plain radiography and in 40 knees (59.7%) through CT. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the medial closing gap and lateral hinge position were predictive factors for plain radiography- and CT-based LHF after MCDFO. Controlling for other variables, we found that an increase in the medial opening gap by 1 mm increased the likelihood of plain radiography-based LHF by a factor of 1.805 (95% CI, 1.291-2.525; P = .001) and CT-based LHF by 1.333 (95% CI, 1.003-1.772; P = .048). Moreover, a lateral hinge position in the supracondylar area increased the likelihood of plain radiography-based LHF by a factor of 9.870 (95% CI, 2.179-44.720; P = .003) and CT-based LHF by 5.686 (95% CI, 1.124-28.754; P = .036). CONCLUSION A large medial closing gap and lateral hinge position in the supracondylar area are associated with LHF in MCDFO. Care should be taken to prevent LHF in MCDFO with a large medial closing gap. Moreover, a lateral hinge position in the supracondylar area should be avoided to decrease the incidence of LHF in MCDFO.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patellar malalignment has been considered one of the major pathomechanical causes of patellofemoral instability and pain. The results have been reported after femoral varization/torsional osteotomy and tibial tuberosity distalization osteotomy (TTD-O). However, the combination of a femoral deformity (genu valgum/increased femur antetorsion) and patella alta remains underreported. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients simultaneously treated by distal femoral osteotomy and TTD-O. The hypothesis was that restoration of patellofemoral (PF) alignment via the abovementioned osteotomies would achieve good patient-reported outcome measures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2016 and 2019, a series of 25 knees in 20 patients were treated by a distal femoral osteotomy combined with a TTD-O aiming to correct patellofemoral malalignment consisting of genu valgum and/or increased femur antetorsion and patella alta. Six patients were lost to follow-up, and one patient refused to participate. Thus, 17 knees in 13 patients (male/female 1/12; age 27.4 ± 5.4 years) were included and comprised the study group for this investigation. Patients were evaluated after a mean of 3.1 ± 0.9 years postoperatively. The Kujala anterior knee pain scale and the PF-subscale of the Knee Osteoarthritis and Outcome score (KOOS-PF) were used to assess patients' reported outcome measures from pre- to postoperatively. RESULTS The mean amount of torsional correction, valgus correction, and tibial tuberosity distalization averaged 14° (10°-18°), 5.2° (3.8°-8°), and 9 mm (6°-15 mm), respectively. The Kujala score increased by an average of 24.18 points from a mean of 66.6 ± 18.3 points (34-93 points) preoperatively to 90.8 ± 14.2 points (44-100 points) postoperatively (95% CI - 33.0 to - 15.3; p < 0.0001). The KOOS-PF score increased by an average of 33.7 points from a mean of 49.5 ± 24.5 points (9.1-88.6 points) preoperatively to 83.2 ± 21.6 points (15.9 -100 points) postoperatively (95% CI - 47.5 to - 19.9; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION The findings of this study indicate that the combination of a distal femoral osteotomy and a tibial tuberosity distalization osteotomy is effective in patients presenting with patellar instability and patellofemoral pain due to patella alta and femoral malalignment.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes after medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction combined with supracondylar biplanar femoral derotation osteotomy (FDO) in recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD) with increased femoral anteversion angle (FAA) and genu valgum. Methods Between January 2017 to December 2020, a total of 13 consecutive patients (13 knees, 4 males and 9 females, mean age 18.7 (range, 15–29 years) with RPD with increased FAA (FAA > 25°) and genu valgum (mechanical axis deformity of ≥5°) who underwent supracondylar biplanar FDO using a Tomofix-locking plate combined with MPFL reconstruction in our institution were included. Preoperative full-leg standing radiographs, lateral views, and hip-knee-ankle computed tomography (CT) scans were used to evaluate the mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), anatomical femorotibial angle (aFTA), mechanical axis, patellar height, tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, and torsional angle of the tibial and femoral in the axial plane. Patient reported outcomes were evaluated using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Kujala score, Lysholm score, visual analog scale (VAS), and Tegner score preoperatively and postoperatively. Postoperative CT scans were used to evaluate the changes of FAA and TT-TG, and full-leg standing radiographs was used to evaluate the changes of mLDFA, aFTA, and mechanical axis. Results A total of 13 patients (13 knees) were included with an average follow-up period of 26.7 months (range 24–33). No cases developed wound infection, soft tissue irritation, and recurrent patellar dislocation during the follow-up period after surgery. Bone healing at the osteotomy site was achieved in all cases, and all patients regained full extension and flexion. Clinical outcomes (VAS, Kujala, IKDC, Lysholom, and Tegner scores) improved significantly at the final follow-up after surgery (p < 0.05). The mean mLDFA, aFTA, mechanical axis, and TT-TG distance showed statistically significant improvement following the combined surgery (p < 0.05), while the CDI did not change significantly after surgery (p>0.05). Conclusion MPFL reconstruction combined with supracondylar biplanar FDO showed satisfactory clinical outcomes and radiographic results in the short-term follow-up period.
