Abstract
Recent studies on the detailed anatomy of the medial patellar stabilizer have revealed that the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) not only attaches to the patella but also has fibers that attach to the quadriceps muscle, known as the medial quadriceps tendon femoral ligament (MQTFL). Reconstruction of the medial stabilizer for patellar dislocation that includes both the MPFL and MQTFL may achieve better anatomical and physiological correction. In this Technical Note, we will describe a simultaneous reconstruction technique of the MPFL and MQTFL for patellar dislocation using an artificial ligament.
