Abstract
The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) represents one of the main stabilizers of the patellofemoral joint. Rupture of the MPFL has been reported in 95% to 100% of patients with acute patellar dislocation. In this Technical Note, we describe a method of MPFL reconstruction with quadriceps tendon using a threadless expanding PEEK (polyether ether ketone) interference device that fixes the tendon in a drill hole in the femur. Based on our experience, it is a quick, safe, and reliable tenodesis procedure.
