Abstract

While medial patellofemoral ligament reconstructions result in a high rate of return to sports, there is still a high reported complication rate. One area of controversy regarding the technique for the reconstruction is the knee flexion angle to use during graft fixation. Currently, more evidence is needed to determine whether there is a significant benefit to using a particular flexion angle during graft fixation.
