The Adductor Sling Technique for Pediatric Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Better Resists Dislocation Loads When Compared With Adductor Transfer at Time Zero in a Cadaveric Model

The Adductor Sling Technique for Pediatric Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Better Resists Dislocation Loads When Compared With Adductor Transfer at Time Zero in a Cadaveric Model

Purpose: To characterize the ability of the intact medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) and the adductor transfer and adductor sling MPFL reconstruction techniques to resist subluxation and dislocation in a cadaveric model. Methods: Nine fresh-frozen cadaveric knees were placed on a custom testing...
