How MPFL Reconstruction is performed
This procedure may involve using an autologous hamstring tendon or allograft, sometimes combined with arthroscopic evaluation of the patellofemoral joint. A tunnel or fixation point is typically created in the patella and femur, and an isometric positioning is achieved with the aid of a guide, fixed with screws or anchors, and tension is adjusted under flexion and extension to stabilize the trajectory. Postoperative monitoring includes incision, pain, and joint movement, along with rehabilitation to restore stability and function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
