Popis: Recurrent patellar instability is a rare complication after patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) and usually involves a traumatic injury. Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction after arthroplasty is a complicated and technically challenging surgical procedure because the lack of patellar bone stock due to resurfacing significantly increases the risk of patellar fracture. We present our surgical technique for revision MPFL reconstruction for recurrent instability after PFA. This technical note describes the use of 1.8-mm all-suture anchors for revision MPFL reconstruction in patients with decreased patellar bone stock after PFA. This technique reduces the risk of patellar fracture without compromising the integrity of the MPFL graft.
