Influence of the Fluoroscopy Setting towards the Patient When Identifying the MPFL Insertion Point
(1) The malposition of the femoral tunnel in medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction can lead to length changes in the MPFL graft, and an increase in medial peak pressure in the patellofemoral joint.

Comparing Nonoperative Treatment, MPFL Repair, and MPFL Reconstruction for Patients With Patellar Dislocation: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis [PDF]
Background: Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, MPFL repair, and nonoperative treatment are important treatments for patients with patellar dislocation. However, it is unclear which treatment leads to better outcomes.

Biomechanics Of the Pediatric MPFL AND MQTFL – What Graft Strength and Graft Choice is Necessary for Successful MPFL/MQTFL Reconstruction? [PDF]
Background: While the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) and medial quadriceps tendon–femoral ligament (MQTFL) are considered the primary restraints against lateral patellar translation, studies suggest that combined reconstruction of the MPFL and ...

QUADRICEP TENDON TURNDOWNS FOR MPFL RECONSTRUCTION: AN ANATOMICAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ORIGINS OF THE QUADRICEP TENDON AND MPFL ON THE PATELLA [PDF]
Background: Quadriceps tendon (QT) turndowns are an alternative method for medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, with several distinct advantages: 1. Avoids the use of patella bone tunnels, which have been associated with patella fracture,

Lateral release associated with MPFL reconstruction in patients with acute patellar dislocation
Objective Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injury occurs in the majority of the cases of acute patellar dislocation. The role of concomitant lateral retinaculum release with MPFL reconstruction is not clearly understood.

Surgical Technique: Anatomic Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Retensioning Repair
The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) and the MPFL/vastus medialis obliquus complex are essential for patellar stability. Insufficiency of the MPFL can lead to altered biomechanics and patellofemoral joint contact pressure, high recurrence rate ...
