One of the major risk factors of this condition is underlying trochlear dysplasia (TD). Recent trends have indicated the use of multiple procedures to correct patellar instability under these conditions. Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) and trochleoplasty (TP) are surgical strategies that have demonstrated successful outcomes. However, it is unclear whether isolated MPFLR suffices for patellar instability in the presence of severe TD. Furthermore, the need for TP or a combined approach, considering its invasiveness and technical demands, to achieve better clinical outcomes and patellofemoral stability remains uncertain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To compare the outcomes of 3 surgical interventions for addressing patellar instability due to TD: MPFLR, TP, and combined MPFLR and TP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Systematic review and meta-analysis; Level of evidence, 4.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Studies reporting the clinical outcomes of MPFLR, TP, and both in combination, regardless of additional procedures, were identified using the MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature databases.

Furthermore, 1457 patients (1571 knees) were evaluated with a mean follow-up of 42.4 \u00b1 32.8 months. No statistically significant differences were found between the 3 methods regarding the mean difference using the Kujala score. However, combined MPFLR and TP had the highest weighted mean difference compared with the other 2 procedures (28.5 points;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001).

The redislocation rate after patellar stabilization remained minimal, irrespective of the surgical procedure (mean, 0.7%). However, the rate of residual patellar instability was the highest in the TP group (mean, 13.5%).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study found no statistically significant difference between the outcomes of the 3 procedures.
