Description

• Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R) is a surgical treatment for patellar instability [1].

• Cases of post-operative recurrent dislocation and persistent instability may occur due to preexisting anatomic risk factors and technical errors in the procedure.

• Current rates of recurrent dislocation are reported to be up to 20% [2].

• Research Question: What anatomic and technical risk factors are associated with increased rates of recurrent dislocation after primary MPFL-R?
