Reimagined MPFL Reconstruction: Retinacular Fixation of the Doubled Hamstring Graft at the Patella and Suture Anchor-Based Femoral Fixation

<div>The semitendinosus tendon is located and obtained using a closed tendon stripper, as shown in (a, b). The ends of the tendon are secured with a nonabsorbable suture (size 5 ethibond) as seen in (c, d). The tendon is then folded to achieve a minimum diameter of 7 mm and length of 10 cm. Graft is pretensioned using a graft tensioning board with a maximum one hand pull.</div>
