Patellofemoral Dislocation Recurrence After a First Episode: A Case-Control Study.

BACKGROUND: Lateral patellar dislocation can become a recurrent problem after the first episode. Identifying those patients who are at increased risk of redislocation is important for the treatment decision-making process. PURPOSE: To identify clinical and radiologic risk factors for recurrence of patellar dislocation after a first episode. STUDY DESIGN: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: The study included patients with lateral patellar dislocation and a 1-year minimum follow-up who were seen between 2011 and 2018. Patients aged 10 to 65 years were included. Patient characteristics, physical examination (patellar apprehension, J sign), and radiographs were reviewed. The Caton-Deschamps and Insall-Salvati ratios were used to evaluate patella alta. High-grade trochlear dysplasia was defined as Dejour types B, C, and D. RESULTS: A total of 130 patients (139 knees) with primary lateral patellar dislocation were included. Recurrent dislocation was seen in 83 knees (59.71%). Stepwise logistic regression analysis demonstrated that Caton-Deschamps ratio ≥1.15 (OR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.09-5.22; P = .029), age <21 years (OR, 2.53; 95% CI, 1.11-5.77; P = .027), and high-grade trochlear dysplasia (OR, 4.17; 95% CI, 1.90-9.17; P < .001) were significantly associated with patellar redislocation. Based on the presence of these factors, the probability of dislocation after a first lateral patellar dislocation was 31.2% with no factors present, 36.6% with any 1 factor present, 71.7% with any 2 factors present, and 86.2% if all 3 conditions were present. CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicated that patella alta, high-grade trochlear dysplasia, and age <21 years were independent risk factors for patellar redislocation after a first episode, with an additive effect when they were present together. This may help to guide the type of treatment for these patients.

Body mass index and knee arthroplasty.

OBJECTIVE: this study aims to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), age at which knee joint arthroplasty is performed and complications. The hypothesis is that the higher the BMI, the greater likelihood that the patient will require surgery at an earlier age.Methods: this is a cohort study with all patients who underwent a primary knee arthroplasty, between August 2013 and February 2019, in a tertiary level university hospital. Association between BMI, age and complications were analyzed. Quality of life of patients was also evaluated with the Oxford Knee Score (OKS). RESULTS: 565 primary total knee replacements (TKR) were performed. A cut-off point was found in BMI of 30; 348 patients had a BMI ≤30 and 173 patients had a BMI >30. When comparing the two groups, a statistically significant difference (p = 0.0186) was found in the age at which the TKR was performed. There was a significant improvement for both groups in functional score (Oxford knee score). Additionally, intra and post-operative complications showed no statistically significant difference. CONCLUSION: patients with BMI greater than 30 required primary knee arthroplasty at a younger age (average: 3.5 years), compared to patients with a lower BMI. Obesity does not appear to confer and independent risk for surgery in the short and mid-term. Knee arthroplasty improves significantly quality of life in the short and mid-term, regardless of their BMI, as measured with the OKS.
