Reconstruction graft is drawn through the VMO tendon and then sutured into a “slot” made by 2 parallel incisions in the distal medial quadriceps tendon. (A) Graft is ready to be pulled into the quadriceps tendon “slot” with a hemostat. (B) Tendon graft has been pulled into the quadriceps tendon slot, reproducing the MQTFL. The graft is then sutured securely in place after tensioning to secure the patella at the precise anatomic center of the trochlea.
