Dynamic–Anatomical Reconstruction of Medial Patellofemoral Ligament in Open Physis

Patellar dislocation is a common knee problem, 10 times more frequent in childhood and adolescence. Medial patellofemoral ligament is injured up to 94% of the time, and its reconstruction is effective in terms of stabilization of the patella.

Descripción
Sumario:Patellar dislocation is a common knee problem, 10 times more frequent in childhood and adolescence. Medial patellofemoral ligament is injured up to 94% of the time, and its reconstruction is effective in terms of stabilization of the patella. However, distal femoral physis can be damaged with different techniques of reconstruction, due to the location of the femoral footprint. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a quasi-anatomical and dynamic reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament, using no tunnel in the femur, passing the graft behind the adductor tendon, and fixing it with one tunnel in the patella and one passage through the quadriceps tendon.
