Trends and Complications of Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Among Applicants for the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery Part II and Maintenance of Certification Examinations: Analysis of Data Over a 15-Year Period
In the current study, the number of MPFLRs performed by the less experienced surgeons in the ABOS group increased a mean 3% each year, whereas this number remained stable for the more experienced MOC group. Additionally, there were significantly more complications with MPFLR and concomitant TTO among the ABOS Part II candidates compared with the MOC candidates. These findings may be helpful in surgical decision making and education in patellofemoral instability.
