- MPFL Isometry
– Through first 50 degrees then loosens
- Femur is key
- How do I find the ‘Right
Spot’
– 1-Anatomy, 2-Isometry, 3- Image confirmation

Complications
SLIDE 11
MPFL Complications
- Patella
– fracture is major complication
SLIDE 12
MPFL Docking Technique
- Advantages
– Short (20mm) blind tunnel
- 4-5mm diameter
– No anchors or screws – Strong fixation
- Disadvantages
– Risk of patella fracture
- Avoid anterior tunnel
SLIDE 13
Complications
SLIDE 14
- Femur
– Malpositioned tunnel leading to increased loads and potential OA – Leads to increased anisometry and eventual failure or loosening of graft
MPFL Complications
SLIDE 15
How Do I Deal with Complications?
- What’s the problem?
– Instability – Stiffness – OA/ Pain
- Figure out what went
wrong the first time
SLIDE 16
MPFL Avoiding Complications
- Avoid tunnels on patella
- Use anatomic landmarks on
femur
- Check Isometry
- Set length with knee in flexion
(~30-45 )
– patella engaged in trochlea (longest length) to avoid over tensioning
