Repair of the medial patellofemoral ligament with suture tape augmentation leads to similar primary contact pressures and joint kinematics like reconstruction with a tendon graft: a biomechanical comparison (2020)

September 15, 2021

Abstract: Purpose: To compare suture tape-augmented MPFL repair with allograft MPFL reconstruction using patellofemoral contact pressure and joint kinematics to assess the risk of patellofemoral over-constrainment at point zero. Methods: A total of ten fresh frozen cadaveric knee specimens were tested in four different conditions of the MPFL: (1) native, (2) cut, (3) reconstructed with…

Golfer Brooks Koepka has been seen practising ready to tee off in the 2021 Masters at Augusta, Georgia which starts tomorrow. Nothing remarkable about that we hear you say – until you hear that he underwent InternalBrace MPFL repair in the US only 3 weeks ago, after suffering a knee dislocation and ligament damage. We…
