Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video presents a surgical technique for MPFL (Medial Patellofemoral Ligament) reconstruction in pediatric patients with patellar instability. The technique is aimed at preserving the growth plate (physis) and minimizing the risk of complications. The video includes a case presentation of a 13-year-old female gymnast with recurrent patellar instability. Surgical options for pediatric patellar instability are discussed, including MPFL repair or reconstruction. The surgical technique involves creating incisions, placing anchors in the patella and femur, and securing the graft to restore stability. The video also discusses postoperative recovery phases and potential complications. No conflicts of interest are reported.
