Soft-tissue fixation is not inferior to suture-anchor fixation in reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament using a nonresorbable suture tape

Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL-R) with nonresorbable suture tape (FiberTape®, FT) is becoming popular. Patella-side fixation of the FT can be performed with suture anchors or via soft-tissue fixation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether patella-side soft-tiss...

Description
Summary:Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL-R) with nonresorbable suture tape (FiberTape®, FT) is becoming popular. Patella-side fixation of the FT can be performed with suture anchors or via soft-tissue fixation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether patella-side soft-tissue fixation can achieve equivalent primary stability compared to suture-anchor fixation.
