Prediction of Contralateral Patellar Instability After Ipsilateral Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction
Skeletal immaturity, recurrent patellar instability in the involved knee, generalized joint hypermobility (Beighton score ≥5), trochlear dysplasia in the involved knee, and patella alta in the involved knee could help to predict contralateral patellar instability.
