SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
MPFL RECONSTRUCTION
Patellar Site Preparation
1a
Create a longitudinal incision over the proximal
two-thirds of the medial border of the patella,
and dissect down to the interval between layer
two (MPFL) and layer three (capsule). !
1b
Decorticate the proximal two-thirds of the
medial patellar margin with a 4 mm round burr.!
1c
Using a 2.5 mm Drill Bit and Drill Guide (from the Morphix Procedure Pack), drill two tunnels, one
at the proximal end of the trough and the second at the mid-waist of the patella. Drill until the hard
stop on the Drill Bit reaches the back of the Drill Guide to ensure appropriate tunnel depth.
