Abstract
Patients with recurrent patellofemoral instability in whom prior medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction fails present unique challenges for revision soft-tissue stabilization owing to scar tissue formation, limited patellar bone stock for anchor placement, and increased risk of patellar fracture. We describe a technique for revision patellofemoral soft-tissue stabilization that combines MPFL and medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament reconstruction techniques through combined fixation to the patella with 1 suture anchor and soft-tissue fixation to the quadriceps tendon. The proposed technique maximizes restoration of resistance to lateral translation by attempting to re-create the native MPFL attachment and minimizes patellar fracture risk in the setting of poor bone stock through the use of a single 1.8-mm all-suture suture anchor rather than bone tunnels or multiple anchor placement for bony fixation.
