Abstract:Introduction: A variety of techniques have been described for femoral fixation in medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr). The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical performance of the most used methods for graft fixation in the femur using human cadaveric tissue. We wondered what is the best fixation method for femoral fixation in MPFL reconstruction? Hypothesis: A suspensory fixation device provides the best femoral fixation. Material and method: Twenty cadaveric knees were tested. … Show more
