The Tendinopathy Severity Assessment – Patellar (TENDINS-P) includes subdomains of pain (general), function & pain (w/ loading), taking 4 to 9 mins to complete.

5 year prognosis for patellar tendinopathy

https://t.co/aStkKTAupF

71% returned to pre injury sport BUT only 68% of these (less than 50% of people overall) returned to pre-injury level of competition.

Not a good stat. We need to do better for patellar tendinopathy.

Trochleoplasty for severe trochlear dysplasia shows strong mid-term results: significant improvements in knee function & QoL, with no recurrent instability or major complications at 5.3y follow-up. Safe & effective option. 🔗

New systematic review

In patellofemoral pain (PFP), muscle strength shows mostly weak to moderate links with key factors:

- Pain & function
- Kinesiophobia
- Lower limb movement patterns

Our family is Running THIS SUNDAY at TEAM TED for the kids at Run for the Kids! This is a very special day for us – we are for ever grateful to the Children’s hospital.

This story from 2023 when we first ran it as a family is still relevant today: https://t.co/7IqRlrSx2W

Long-term results matter. This study shows that mild patellofemoral OA does not compromise functional outcomes or satisfaction after trochleoplasty at 15 years.

1. So nice to see the @PRePPeD_Trial results finally out open-access!

This study moves us one step closer to a definitive, full-scale trial in rehabilitation after patellar dislocation. @BritishPFSoc

Collaborations and feedback are always welcome!

Patellofemoral cartilage defects may require more than cartilage restoration alone. This VJSM technique combines MACI with tibial tubercle osteotomy and lateral retinacular lengthening to offload the joint, protect the graft, and improve outcomes.

Discover a safe, cost-effective approach to medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction: using the medial third of the patellar tendon eliminates the need for hardware or implants in the patella. Prioritize patient safety and reduce complications. #MPFL #PatellaInstability
