[Anatomical double-bundle reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament with a gracilis autograft].
[trochlear dysplasia]
Elimination

Supine
postion
.
Stripping
of
the
gracilis
tendon
.
Drilling
of
two
tunnels
into
the
medial
margin
of
the
patella
.
Insertion
of
both
tendon
ends
into
the
tunnels
and
fixation
with
resorbable
screwlocks
.
Undermining
of
the
fascia
of
the
medial
oblique
vastus
muscle
and
insertion
of
the
tendon
loop
into
the
femoral
point
of
insertion
located
at
the
medial
epicondyle
.
Preparation
of
the
femoral
point
of
insertion

drilling
of
the
femoral
tunnel

Insertion
of
the
graft
into
the
femoral
tunnel

The
method
presented
in
this
manuscript
was
performed
on
32
Â
patients
with
recurring
patellar
luxation
;
27
Â
patients
were
available
for
clinical
assessment
at
1
year
postoperatively
.
There
were
no
recorded
events
of
reluxation
;
the
Kujala
score
increased
on
average
from
61
points
preoperatively
to
93
points
postoperatively
.
