Comparison of Primary Repair Techniques for MPFL Ruptures: Is Anchor Use Essential?

alta, trochlear, and lateral femoral dysplasia, dysplastic vastus medialis obliquus muscle and iliotibial band, and excessive tension in the vastus lateralis.Osteochondral lesions commonly develop after patellar dislocations. [1][2][3][4][5] In the treatment of patellar dislocations, conservative management is mostly preferred for initial dislocations, whereas primary repair of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is preferred in the presence of bony fractures.On the other hand, Le et al. 6 reported that acute repair of first-time MPFL ruptures had clinical results similar to those of conservative treatment, with a lower redislocation rate.
