Sonography on injury of the medial patellofemoral ligament after acute traumatic lateral patellar dislocation: Injury patterns and correlation analysis with injury of articular cartilage of the inferomedial patella
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of high-frequency ultrasonography in the diagnosis of injuries of medial patellofemoral ligaments (MPFLs), analyse the characteristics of MPFL injury and correlations between injury of the MPFL and articular cartilage of the inferomedial patella in patients with acute traumatic lateral patellar dislocation.MethodsHigh-frequency sonographic images of 49 patients with acute traumatic lateral patellar dislocations treated surgically were reviewed. The χ2 tests were performed for statistical analysis.ResultsTwenty-eight cases of complete MPFL tear and 21 cases of partial MPFL tear were identified in operation, with 27 cases of MPFL tear located at their femoral attachment, 21 cases of tear at the patellar attachment and one case of midsubstance tear. The diagnostic accuracy of sonography regarding partial MPFL tear and complete MPFL tear was 89.8% and 89.8%. Among the patients with MPFL tear at the patellar attachment, eight and six cases were concomitant with chondral and osteochondral lesions in the inferomedial patella, respectively, in contrast to nine and six cases in patients with MPFL tear at the femoral attachment, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two locations described above regarding the prevalence rates of chondral or osteochondral lesions of the inferomedial patella (P = 0.732, P = 0.614). Among the patients with complete MPFL tear, 12 and 10 cases were concomitant with chondral and osteochondral lesions in the inferomedial patella, respectively, while six and two cases were concomitant with partial MPFL tear. There was no significant difference between the two types of injuries discussed above on the prevalence rates of chondral lesions of the inferomedial patella (P = 0.305), but the prevalence rate of osteochondral lesions between the two types of injuries discussed above was statistically different (P = 0.035).ConclusionsThe MPFL is most easily injured at the femoral attachment, secondly at the patellar attachment. High-frequency ultrasonography is an accurate method in the diagnosis of an MPFL tear. There are neither significant differences on the prevalence rates of chondral or osteochondral lesions of the inferomedial patella between locations of MPFL injuries, nor significant difference on the prevalence rates of chondral lesions between MPFL injury types; but the complete MPFL tear is more often concomitant with inferomedial patellar osteochondral lesions than the partial MPFL tear.
