Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction with allograft is the current standard surgical treatment for recurrent lateral patellar instability. The authors describe a technique for MPFL repair that is augmented with a reinforced bioinductive implant inserted using a double-bundle patella docking technique. The tensile strength of the implant provides resistance to patellar translation during healing, offering a notable advantage to historically described MPFL repair techniques and paralleling the benefits of allograft over autograft when used for MPFL reconstruction.

Background: Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction is frequently indicated for recurrent lateral patellar instability. The preoperative presence and severity of a J-sign have been associated with poorer postoperative outcomes.
Purpose: To determine the underlying anatomic factors that contribute to the presence, severity, and jumping quality of the J-sign.

Purpose: To provide recommendations for the treatment of patients with first-time patellar dislocation (FTPD). Part 2 focused on nonoperative treatment, bracing, rehabilitation, indications for surgery and surgical strategies.
Methods: The consensus was performed according to the European Society for Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy consensus methodology.

Purpose: To examine a method to visualize a 3-dimensional (3D) rendered distal femur using 3D curvature analysis and to compare models of patellofemoral instability (PFI) with controls to study the reliability of the entry point to trochlear groove angle (EPTG) metric.
Methods: The 3D models of patients with recurrent patellar instability, defined by at least 2 reported patellar dislocation events, and age- and sex-matched controls were created from computed tomography scans. Curvature was calculated to highlight the proximal trochlear ridges and the trochlear groove by overlaying them on the 3D models.
Background: Knee strength is a critical measure of successful rehabilitation following medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR). Yet, strength outcomes of youth following MPFLR are not widely reported.
Hypothesis/purpose: The primary purpose was to profile isokinetic strength outcomes by sex and age among youth following MPFLR.

Posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture injuries have been associated with an increased risk of meniscal tears and premature patellofemoral/medial compartment osteoarthritis. Sports-related trauma is a common cause of posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures. Surgical management is recommended for displaced bony avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament to stabilize the knee and prevent knee pain, nonunion, and osteoarthritis progression.
