Description
Smith & Nephew’s newest installment into the interactive educational series is the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction. This new interactive technique guide describes an allograft to recreate the static checkrein effect of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). Recurrent instability of the patella is a significant injury, commonly occurs after primary dislocation leading to disability. The MPFL is proven to be the primary static restraint to lateral translation of the patella. In the past, plication techniques have been used to attempt to tighten the MPFL. These techniques are not as effective in preventing recurrence of dislocation as reconstruction of the MPFL. Contemporary techniques for addressing patella instability focus on pathologic structures and anatomically restoring the static restraint to lateral patella translation with a medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. The goals of these procedures are to recreate the primary ligamentous restraint to prevent lateral patella instability. Additionally, if the lateral structures are tight or shortened, a lateral lengthening technique is presented for appropriate balancing of the parapatellar structures in certain situations.
