Combined Medial Patellofemoral Ligament and Medial Quadriceps Tendon-Femoral Ligament Reconstruction With Single Knotless Anchor.

ABSTRACT: Lateral patellar dislocations represent a common orthopaedic condition in young, active individuals who experience patellar instability. Despite increasing interest in re-creating the natural biomechanics and native knee anatomy when performing medial patellar soft-tissue reconstructive procedures, there is no consensus among surgeons regarding the best techniques to use when reconstructing the medial patellofemoral ligament and medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament. This article details a method to reconstruct the medial patellofemoral ligament and medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament using a single graft and a single all-suture knotless anchor on the patella.
