Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Repair Augmented With Reinforced Bioinductive Implant Using Double‐Bundle Patella Docking Technique
Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction with allograft is the current standard surgical treatment for recurrent lateral patellar instability. The authors describe a technique for MPFL repair that is augmented with a reinforced bioinductive implant inserted using a double-bundle patella docking technique. The tensile strength of the implant provides resistance to patellar translation during healing, offering a notable advantage to historically described MPFL repair techniques and paralleling the benefits of allograft over autograft when used for MPFL reconstruction.
