The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is generally nonfunctional in cases of recurrent lateral patellar instability. While there are numerous techniques and graft choices, patellar fracture after MPFL reconstruction remains a rare but devastating complication, as tunnels drilled completely through the patella increase the risk of fracture. This article presents a technique of MPFL reconstruction utilizing patellar suture anchors and a peroneus longus tendon allograft that avoids the need to drill tunnels that completely traverse the patella. (Journal of Surgical Orthopaedic Advances 28(3):166-174, 2019).
