Abstract
Patellar dislocations are common injuries in the pediatric and adolescent population, with an estimated mean incidence of 42/100,000 person-years. The medial patellofemoral ligament is the most important structure preventing lateral patellar translation, whereas its patellar attachment is frequently damaged after patellar dislocations. This technical note presents an all-arthroscopic medial patellofemoral ligament repair technique suggested after a first episode of patellar dislocation.
