Comparison of Ligament Isometry and Patellofemoral Contact Pressures for Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Techniques in Skeletally Immature Patients

Abstract

In the skeletally immature patient, using an epiphyseal type MPFL reconstruction with the femoral attachment site distal to the physis results in a more isometric graft compared with techniques with attachment sites proximal to the physis.
