Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction in Patients with Lateral Patellar Instability and Trochlear Dysplasia

Abstract

Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction provides excellent long-term pain relief and functional return in patients with patellar instability and femoral trochlear dysplasia. In addition, reconstruction prevents recurrent dislocation, despite the diminished bony constraint of a dysplastic trochlea.
