The medial patellotibial ligament runs from the inferior medial patella to the medial proximal tibia, providing the inferior medial component of the medial patellar retinaculum and contributing to medial patellar stability.
Provides the inferior medial patellar constraint, limits inferior lateral patellar displacement, and supplements the MPFL in providing overall medial patellar stabilisation throughout the flexion arc.
MPTL reconstruction is included in comprehensive patellar instability surgery when inferior medial patellar constraint is insufficient. It is combined with MPFL reconstruction in cases of global medial patellar soft tissue insufficiency.
Medial patellotibial ligament reconstruction combined with MPFL repair for comprehensive medial patellar stabilisation in recurrent lateral patellar dislocation.
