Anatomical Double-Bundle Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction With Autologous Semitendinosus, a Single Patellar Tunnel Technique
Patellofemoral instability is one of the knee problems that can be found in up to 3% of knee injuries, especially in younger aged females. Recent biomechanical studies showed that the main soft tissue stabilizer for patellofemoral stability is the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). More than 200...

Sumario: | Patellofemoral instability is one of the knee problems that can be found in up to 3% of knee injuries, especially in younger aged females. Recent biomechanical studies showed that the main soft tissue stabilizer for patellofemoral stability is the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). More than 200 articles on MPFL reconstruction have been published. Some surgical techniques create multiple holes in the patellar area that may increase the risk of patellar fractures. This technique that we present here attempts to reduce the chance of patella-related complications, while maintaining stability of the reconstructed construct, reducing the use of a lengthy tendon graft within the patella and covering the footprint at the border of the patella closed to the native anatomy of the MPFL. |
