Several interventions are established for treating patellofemoral instability in adults. Fewer exist for pediatric patients without damaging the epiphysis. The Ali Krogius (AK) method is currently still being used. Most studies are not current and report varying results in small patient population. The aim of this study is to determine the long-term results of the AK method.
In this monocentric, retrospective study design, 33 knees in 33 patients who received the AK procedure for recurrent patellar dislocation were assessed. The average age was 20.8 years (range 6-40). The following functional scores were assessed: Kujala Score, Lysholm Score and Tegner Score. Subgroup analysis was done for patients ≤16 years of age. Available preoperative imaging was assessed for known risk factors.
After an average follow-up of 7.8 years (Range 59-145 months), a total of 8 (24%) knees suffered a redislocation postoperatively. Seven of the eight dislocations occurred in patients ≤ 16 years of age. One knee (3%) was revised due to persistent pain. The median score was 86 points for the Kujala score and 90 for the Lysholm score. The median in the Tegner score was level 6. Clinically, the patellar glide was lateralized in 7 knees (21%) and an apprehension sign was triggered in 8 knees (24%).
Including the present study, the existing literature indicates a redislocation rate between 24 and 41% following AK. It should thus be regarded as obsolete even though it protects the epiphysis. Surgical interventions such as medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction with femoral drilling distal to the epiphysis should be preferred.

有几种干预措施可用于治疗成人髌股关节不稳定,但对于儿童患者,由于会损伤骨骺,故可用的方法较少。目前仍在使用 Ali Krogius(AK)方法。大多数研究都不是最新的,且报告的小患者群体的结果各不相同。本研究旨在确定 AK 方法的长期结果。
在这项单中心回顾性研究设计中,对 33 名接受 AK 手术治疗复发性髌骨脱位的患者的 33 个膝关节进行评估。平均年龄为 20.8 岁(范围 6-40 岁)。评估以下功能评分:Kujala 评分、Lysholm 评分和 Tegner 评分。对≤16 岁的患者进行亚组分析。评估了可用的术前影像学检查以确定已知的危险因素。
平均随访 7.8 年后(范围 59-145 个月),共有 8 例(24%)膝关节术后再脱位。8 例脱位中有 7 例发生在≤16 岁的患者中。1 例(3%)因持续疼痛而进行了翻修。Kujala 评分为 86 分,Lysholm 评分为 90 分,Tegner 评分为 6 级。膝关节髌骨滑动在 7 例(21%)中向外侧化,8 例(24%)触发了恐惧征。
包括本研究在内,现有文献表明 AK 术后的再脱位率为 24%至 41%。因此,即使它可以保护骨骺,也应将其视为过时的方法。应首选股骨骨骺下钻孔的内侧髌股韧带重建等手术干预措施。
