Objective To observe the effectiveness of arthroscopic reconstruction of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) with a single bundle of autogenous half peroneal longus tendon, and medial displacement of lateral hemitibial tuberosity for the treatment of recurrent dislocation of patella.Methods  Retrospectively analyse the clinical data of 24 patients (24 knees) with recurrent patellar dislocation with tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance (TT-TG) values more than 15 mm who were admitted between September 2014 and September 2018. Of which 7 were male and 17 were female; aged 16-35 years old with an average of 25.8 years. The disease duration ranged from 15 to 46 months, with an average of 26.7 months. All patients had a history of knee trauma, and a positive result of apprehension test on the affected knee. All patients underwent the surgery of arthroscopic reconstruction of MPFL with a single bundle of autogenous half peroneal longus tendon, and medial displacement of lateral hemitibial tuberosity. Before and after operation, Kujala score was used to evaluate patellofemoral joint function, Lysholm score was used to evaluate knee joint function; CT and MRI were used to measure and compare the changes of congruence angle (CA), patellar tilt angle (PTA), and lateral patella displacement (LPD) in order to evaluate patella stability.Results All incisions healed by first intention, and no infection or neurovascular injury occurred. Deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities occurred in 2 cases at 4 and 7 days after operation respectively, and the thrombosis disappeared after symptomatic treatment. All the 24 patients were followed up 12-14 months (mean, 12.9 months). During follow-up, no patellar dislocation reoccurred in the affected knee. At last follow-up, the apprehension test was negative in every patients. The TT-TG, CA, PTA, and LPD were significantly improved when compared with those before operation (P<0.05). The Kujala score and Lysholm score at 1 month and last follow-up were significantly better than those before operation, and the above scores at last follow-up were significantly better than those at 1 month after operation (P<0.05). According to Lysholm score, the patients’ knee joint functions were excellent in 13 cases, good in 10 cases, and fair in 1 case, and the excellent and good rate was 95.8%.Conclusion Arthroscopic reconstruction of MPFL with a single bundle of autogenous half peroneal longus tendon combined with medial displacement of lateral hemitibial tuberosity has the advantages of minimal invision and reliable effectiveness. It can be used as one of the effective surgical methods for the treatment of recurrent dislocation of patella.
