The anatomic double-bundle technique replicates the native shape of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), provides stability in both flexion and extension, and effectively limits rotation throughout ROM, helping minimize postoperative instability. The technique, if accomplished directly and anatomically, can also allow for more aggressive rehabilitation protocols and earlier return to activity.1
Successful MPFL reconstruction is dependent on anatomic placement of the graft. The technique incorporates the use of a femoral template to ensure proper placement of the graft in the femur. This position provides a static fixation point that equalizes the tension across the graft in flexion and extension, thus helping minimize stress across the patellofemoral joint.
Other options include Knee FiberTak® anchors for onlay MPFL techniques as well as 4 MPFL convenience packs to address each patient's unique needs and each surgeon's fixation preference. The newest kits use 3.9 mm BioComposite SwiveLock® anchors for patellar fixation and either a 6 mm × 20 mm BioComposite FastThread™ interference screw or an ACL TightRope® implant for femoral fixation.
