Abstract
The medial patellofemoral ligament is one of the most relevant structures preventing patellar dislocation. Numerous surgical techniques have been described to reconstruct this structure and patellar biomechanics. Complications after this procedure concern both patella and femur. This technique avoids tunneling the patella and the use of intraoperative radiographs by using the adductor magnus tendon insertion.
