Patellofemoral Videos

Not all patients with patellar dislocation need more than MPFL reconstruction

In this video, Beth E. Shubin Stein, MD, discusses when surgeons should perform more than a medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction in patients with patellar dislocation.

Speaker advises MPFL reconstruction for first-time patellar instability

Whenever addressing a kid with patellar instability, you have to look at all factors, including the way the patellar tracks, the alignment, the rotation and the dysplasia of both the patella and the trochlea …

MPFL reconstruction should be anatomic, without over tensioning the ligament

At the Arthroscopy Association of North America Annual Meeting, Miho J. Tanaka, MD, discussed acceptable variations and surgical techniques for medial patellofemoral complex reconstruction…

Tibial tubercle osteotomy evolves for patellofemoral joint preservation

In this video from the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Association of North America Combined Meeting, Seth L. Sherman, MD, discussed the evolution of tibial tubercle osteotomy…
