Trochlear dysplasia with MPFL tear
✅✅"Case Spotlight: Trochlear Dysplasia with Patellar Dislocation and MPFL Tear on MRI
As a radiologist, I'd like to share a complex case involving trochlear dysplasia, patellar dislocation, and a tear of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL).
Clinical Presentation:🌟
- Recurrent patellar dislocations
- Knee pain and instability
MRI Findings:✅
- Trochlear dysplasia with a shallow femoral trochlea
- Patellar dislocation with lateral patellar tilt
- Complete tear of the MPFL
- Associated bone marrow edema and soft tissue injuries
Trochlear dysplasia is a critical factor in patellar instability, and MPFL tears are a common consequence of patellar dislocation.
Key takeaways:⚜️⚜️
- MRI is essential for diagnosing trochlear dysplasia and MPFL tears
- Accurate diagnosis guides surgical planning and reconstruction
- MPFL reconstruction is often necessary to restore patellar stability✅
