MPFL Reconstruction and Trochleoplasty Presentation

Philip Schöttle, MD, (Munich, Germany) explains and classifies patellar instability and discusses MPFL reconstruction in detail. In patients with flat or convex trochleae, Dr. Schöttle shows how MPFL reconstruction is often not enough to provide adequate stability. For these patients, he shows how trochleoplasty can recreate a new groove in the trochlea, using a specially designed guide.
