Abstract

Given different functions of the medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament and medial patellofemoral ligament components of the proximal medial patellar restraints, reconstructions to the midpoint of the medial patellofemoral ligament and medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament are probably optimal, combining the benefits of both in surgical treatment of recurrent patella instability.
