Abstract
Recurrent patellar dislocation is most commonly treated with an isolated medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using autograft tissue. Harvest and fixation of these grafts have some theoretical disadvantages. With this Technical Note, we aim to describe a simple reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament using high-strength suture tape with a soft-tissue fixation on the patellar side and an interference screw fixation on the femoral side, avoiding some of these possible disadvantages.
