Video Summary
In this video, Noah Quinlan presents his work titled "NPFL Reconstruction in the Pediatric Population: Does Skeletal Maturity Affect Outcomes in Surgical Success?" The study focuses on patellar instability in pediatric patients and the use of NPFL reconstruction as a treatment. The objective is to understand if skeletal maturity affects the outcomes of this procedure. The study involved a retrospective chart review of patients under the age of 18 who underwent NPFL reconstruction. The results showed that both skeletally mature and immature patients had good outcomes, but the immature group reported a higher rate of subsequent knee injury. However, there was no significant difference in the actual rate of dislocation or need for further procedures. Skeletally mature patients also reported higher satisfaction rates and were more likely to undergo the same care again. The study suggests that factors such as age and the use of mercilane tape augmentation may influence outcomes.
