Abstract
Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction with allograft is the current standard surgical treatment for recurrent lateral patellar instability. The authors describe a technique for MPFL repair that is augmented with a reinforced bioinductive implant inserted using a double-bundle patella docking technique. The tensile strength of the implant provides resistance to patellar translation during healing, offering a notable advantage to historically described MPFL repair techniques and paralleling the benefits of allograft over autograft when used for MPFL reconstruction.
