Popis: Objectives: The objectives of the study were to describe the surgical technique of our modification of isolated medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, in patients with patellar instability. As per literature, isolated MPFL reconstruction is advocated if tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TTTG) Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 52 patients with patellar instability (TT-TG Results: The mean age of the study population was 21.98 years, with a female (63.5%) majority. Among the 52 patients included in the study, 39 patients (75%) had TT-TG Conclusion: MPFL reconstruction without concomitant bony procedures can be safely performed in patients with a TT-TG
