Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction With Semitendinosus Autograft
Patellar instability is a common complaint after traumatic dislocation of the patella. Traumatic dislocation always leads to tearing of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). Treatment consists of recovery from the traumatic injury, followed by reconditioning and physical therapy to strengthen t...

Traumatic dislocation always leads to tearing of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). Treatment consists of recovery from the traumatic injury, followed by reconditioning and physical therapy to strengthen the dynamic stabilizers of the patella.
