Abstract

Patellar dislocation is a frequent sports-related knee injury. The primary restraint to lateral translation of patella is medial patellofemoral ligament. Several treatments for patella dislocation have been described in the literature. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the surgical technique for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using gracilis tendon and 2 knotless soft anchors, avoiding patella tunneling.
