BACKGROUND: With the use of synthetic materials for medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, graft harvest is not necessary and this may facilitate post-operative rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to compare the structural properties of MPFL reconstruction using a modern synthetic material (FiberTape® (FT), Arthrex) with knotless anchors or a semitendinosus (ST) tendon autograft with soft anchors.
METHODS: Nine human fresh-frozen amputated knees were used in this study. After the tensile strength of the native MPFL was measured, the MPFLs were reconstructed using two different surgical procedures, FT with knotless anchors (group A) and a ST with soft anchors (group B). Mechanical testing to failure of the reconstructed MPFLs was performed, and the ultimate load (N), stiffness (N/mm), and failure mode were recorded.
RESULTS: The mean (±standard deviation) ultimate load of the native MPFL was 130.6 ± 28.7 N, and all native MPFLs failed at the femoral insertion site. Ultimate load of group A was significantly higher than that of the native MPFL (175.9 ± 34.1 N, p < 0.05). In contrast, the ultimate load of group B was significantly lower than that of the native MPFL (102.7 ± 21.4 N, p < 0.05). The mean stiffness was significantly higher for MPFLs in group A (17.4 ± 4.3 N/mm) than in group B (8.5 ± 1.8 N/mm, p < 0.05). In group A, 5 specimens failed via a knotless anchor pullout at the femoral side, 3 via pullout of knotless anchors at the patella side and 1 via fracture (cheese cut) of the femur without breakage of knotless anchor. In group B, all specimens failed via soft anchor pullout at the patella side. There was no incidence of rupture of FT or ST.
CONCLUSION: FT with knotless anchors was stronger than a ST with soft tissue anchors for MPFL reconstruction.
