Outcomes of MPFL reconstruction with tibial tubercle transfer for recurrent patellar instability with high grade trochlear dysplasia in Indian population.

Background: Patellar instability is a painful condition which affects the quality of life and mobility of young individuals. The aim of this study is to observe the results of medial patello-femoral ligament reconstruction with hamstring autograft along with a modified Fulkerson osteotomy, for recurrent instability of patella with high-grade trochlear dysplasia in Indian population.

Materials & Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of 26 knees (21 patients) who attended our outpatient department from June 2014 to February 2019, with recurrent instability of the patella and high-grade trochlear dysplasia.
