| More Details: | Abstract Background The infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) lies extrasynovial and intracapsular, preserving the joint cavity and serving as a biochemical regulator of inflammatory reactions. However, there is a lack of research on the relationship between anterior knee pain (AKP) and the IPFP after medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR). Pinpointing the source of pain enables clinicians to promptly manage and intervene, facilitating personalized rehabilitation and improving patient prognosis. Methods A total of 181 patients were included in the study. These patients were divided into the AKP group (n = 37) and the control group (n = 144). Clinical outcomes included three pain-related scores, Tegner activity score, patient satisfaction, etc. Imaging outcomes included the IPFP thickness, IPFP fibrosis, and the IPFP thickness change and preservation ratio. Multivariate analysis was used to determine the independent factors associated with AKP. Finally, the correlation between independent factors and three pain-related scores was analyzed to verify the results. Results The control group had better postoperative pain-related scores and Tegner activity score than the AKP group (P 0.50, P |
