Troubleshooting the Femoral Attachment During Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction
The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) has been recognized as an important soft tissue restraint in preventing lateral patellar translation. As many patients with acute or chronic patellar instability will have a deficient MPFL, reconstruction of this ligament is becoming more common. Appropriately, significant research has been undertaken regarding graft biomechanics and techniques, as intr...
متن کاملThe Anatomy of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament.
Recurrent patellar dislocation is observed in many patients treated nonoperatively following primary dislocation. Injury to the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is reported in the majority of patients following dislocation. There is an increased interest in repair or reconstruction of the MPFL for patients experiencing recurrent instability. The femoral attachment of the MPFL is critical i...

The medial patellofemoral ligament has been recognized as the structure primarily responsible for preventing patellar subluxation or dislocation.1-3 Anatomic dissection studies identified the medial patellofemoral ligament as a band of tissue connecting the femoral medial epicondyle to the proximal part of the medial edge of the patella (Figure 1).1-6 Imaging studies7-11 and surgical exploratio...

متن کاملReconstruction of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament
Patellar instability has been shown to be associated with different major factors. However, studies have demonstrated that soft tissue reconstructions are adequate enough to reestablish patellar constraint. In recent years, the medial patellofemoral ligament has been recognized as the primary passive restraint for lateral translation of the patella. Their reconstruction has gain popularity as t...
