Abstract
Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction has proven to be a reliable procedure to reduce patellar instability events in patients with recurrent patellar instability. As our reconstruction techniques have evolved to address pathology in a diverse patient population, there continues to be an obsessive focus on the precise anatomy of the MPFL origin on the medial knee, due in large part to concerns that improper femoral tunnel position may result in excessive graft anisometry and failure. However, recurrent patellar instability involves many complexities and should not be simply reduced to a single point on the medial knee.
