Reimagined MPFL Reconstruction: Retinacular Fixation of the Doubled Hamstring Graft at the Patella and Suture Anchor-Based Femoral Fixation by Muhammed Ehsan Nazeer, Sagar Goel, Muhammed Nazeer, Gowrishankar Sreenivasan, Mohsin Nazeer Muhammed, Suzaan Shajil

“…There is no consensus on the best type of graft or fixation strategy for the femur and patella, and complications such as iatrogenic patella fracture, tunnel malposition, and grafting failure are common. The objective of our research is to find out the functional outcome of a new method of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, which involves two key components: (1) patellar fixation is accomplished by suturing the two limbs of the looped doubled hamstring graft in a divergent fashion to the retinaculum at the medial border of the upper half of patella and (2) the placement of a suture anchor tied to the graft at the isometric point on the medial femur condyle. …”
