“Pin the Tail on the MPFL” Identification by Palpation - Results
Objectives: Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction has become increasingly popular to treat patellar dislocation. Studies have noted the importance of recovering the anatomic insertion of the MPFL and that reconstruction should be performed

MPFL-Rekonstruktion nach fehlgeschlagener patellastabilisierender Voroperation
Die patellofemorale Instabilität ist vor allem bei Kindern und Jugendlichen ein häufiges orthopädisches Krankheitsbild. Da nach einer Patellaluxation in bis zu 100% das mediale patellofemorale Ligament (MPFL) beschädigt ist, erfährt die MPFL ...

Transosseous suture loop technique for MPFL reconstruction.
International audiencePatellar dislocation represents a rare but invalidating trauma. Indeed, 94 to 100% of patients suffer from medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) rupture just after the first patellar dislocation, and approximately half of these ...

Comparison of MPFL Repair Versus MPFL Reconstruction for Refractory Patella Instability in Patients Under 18 Years Old [PDF]
Background: The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the primary soft-tissue restraint against lateral patellar displacement. Surgery to address MPFL incompetence is the current gold standard for recurrent patellofemoral instability.

Medial Patellar Retinaculum Cable Replacement of Medial Quadriceps Tendon-Femoral Ligament Combined With Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction in Treatment of Recurrent Patellar Dislocation. [PDF]
Abstract Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a mainstream surgical approach for treating recurrent patellar dislocation. In recent years, double‐bundle reconstruction, for example, combined reconstruction of MPFL and the medial quadriceps tendon‐femoral ligament, has been applied and shown favorable outcomes in the treatment of ...

Medial Patellofemoral and Medial Patellotibial Ligament Reconstruction Using a Docked Rectus Femoris Graft. [PDF]
Abstract Recurrent patellar instability may persist after isolated medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, particularly in cases with instability beyond early knee flexion. Recent evidence has emphasized the role of the medial patellotibial ligament as a secondary stabilizer contributing to patellofemoral stability at higher degrees of flexion ...

Double Adjustable-Loop Cortical Buttons for Minimally Invasive Anatomic Double-Bundle Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction. [PDF]
Abstract Recurrent patellar dislocation is a common condition in young and active individuals, with medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injury being the primary pathological factor in most cases. Anatomic double‐bundle MPFL reconstruction has been established as an effective treatment for patellar instability; however, the optimal fixation method ...

Anatomical double-bundle MPFL reconstruction with an aperture fixation.
Since biomechanical studies have shown that the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the main restraint against lateral patella displacement, reconstruction of the MPFL has become an accepted method of restoring patellofemoral stability and numerous ...

Clinical outcome in MPFL reconstruction with and without tuberositas transposition
There are several surgical options for recurrent patella dislocations. As the reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) has been proven to restore stability, it has become more accepted. Aim of this study was to investigate the clinical

Comparable clinical outcomes and redislocation rates after isolated medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction in patients with and without borderline anatomical risk factors for patellar instability. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare mid‐ to long‐term clinical outcomes and redislocation rates after isolated medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction in patients with and without borderline anatomical risk factors. It was hypothesized that isolated MPFL reconstruction would provide comparable outcomes regardless of ...
