Objectives:Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction has become an increasingly popular means to regain stability in the setting of recurrent lateral patellar dislocation, with nearly twice the number of medical centers performing reconstruction of the MPFL and outcomes reported on nearly double the number of patients in recent years. While recent studies have demonstrated improved patient reported outcome measures and a high rate of return to sports, limited literature has explored its effectiveness as an isolated intervention in the context of trochlear dysplasia. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of isolated MPFL reconstruction in treating patellar instability in the setting of trochlear dysplasia.
