Clinical Study Relating to Patients Undergoing Medial Femoral Patellar Ligament Reconstruction

Reconstruction of MPFL using a fascia lata allograft. The rationale for this technique is to stabilize the patella and limit medium to long-term patellofemoral arthritic degeneration by restoring the MPFL in the most anatomical way possible, not using a tubular graft but an aponeurosis with biomechanical characteristics similar to the native MPFL. The MPFL reconstruction can be used alone or in association with the realignment of the extensor apparatus by transposition of the anterior tibial tuberosity, managing to correct most of the recurrent patellofemoral instabilities. Only in very serious particular cases is it necessary to perform more invasive additional procedures with a more uncertain clinical result (such as Trocleoplasty).
