Is Robot-assisted MPFL Reconstruction Better than Freehand?
This study compared two groups of patients undergoing MPFL reconstruction for recurrent instability using robot-assisted and freehand surgery.
Understanding Patellofemoral Instability & Cartilage Lesions
Recently, Dr. Andreas Gomoll (my husband) and I joined the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast to discuss the patellofemoral instability and cartilage lesions.
Using Machine Learning to Predict MPFL Reconstruction Outcomes
It makes sense that emerging technologies, such as machine learning, will help us choose the best combination of surgical interventions for patellar instability.
MPFL Reconstruction and TTO Questions
I’ve had quite a few questions lately on my videos about medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction and tibial tubercle osteotomy surgery. What often happens is people have had one surgery or the other (or both) and they’re looking for information about what to expect after surgery, when they will regain range of motion, and a […]
Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Questions
Liam had been dealing with a lifetime of kneecap dislocations; a medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction was the best way to get him back to playing hockey. This video gets a lot of questions about MPFL reconstruction.
Knee Surgery Scars & Minimally Invasive Surgery
Something I often discuss with patients before surgery is how long their knee surgery scar is actually going to be. In residency and fellowship, we are taught that the size and appearance of the scar doesn’t really matter.
Treating Patellofemoral Arthritis & Patellar Instability
This study shows good results for treating concurrent patellofemoral arthritis and patellar instability for patellofemoral arthroplasty and MPFL reconstruction.
Understanding Patellofemoral (Kneecap) Instability and Pain
In this short video I explain what patellofemoral instability is, what causes pain, how it feels, why it happens, and how it can be fixed.
