Abstract:PurposeThe association between the prevalence of patellofemoral arthritis (PFA) and femoral tunnel positioning following isolated medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr) has not been well described. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between femoral tunnel positioning and the prevalence of PFA.MethodsThis was a single‐centre study of patients undergoing an isolated MPFLr between 2006 and 2011 with a minimum of 10 years of follow‐up. Outcomes assessed were the presence of PFA on… Show more
