Double Adjustable-Loop Cortical Buttons for Minimally Invasive Anatomic Double-Bundle Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction. [PDF]
Arthrosc TechAbstract 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 ...

Medial Patellofemoral and Medial Patellotibial Ligament Reconstruction Using a Docked Rectus Femoris Graft. [PDF]
Arthrosc TechAbstract 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 ...

Poster 291: Ultrasound-based patellar glide test: A new dynamic assessment of patellar instability
Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2023 Objectives: Patellar instability can be difficult to assess due to the dynamic nature of this condition. While MRI and CT can demonstrate the morphology of the patellofemoral joint, the assessment of instability relies on dynamic testing.
