  • JUPITER 4.0 - Risk Factors For Failure Of Isolated Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Rochester, MN

    The goal of this observational study is to learn about the outcomes of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction for the treatment of recurrent patellar instability. The main questions it aims to answer are:

    * What are the risk factors for recurrent patellar instability after MPFL reconstruction?
    * What functional outcomes do patients report after MPFL reconstruction?

    Participants undergoing MPFL reconstruction will answer survey questions about their knee and activity level 1 year and 2 years after surgery.
