Pearls and Pitfalls of Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation

Pearls	Pitfalls
The use of ultrasound may give some surgeons additional confidence when identifying the medial epicondyle.9	It is important to establish anatomic accuracy.
The surgeon should ensure that excessive constraint is not applied.	Excessive tension will result in postoperative irritation and may lead to quadriceps inhibition.
The suture tape should be tensioned during the first 20°-30° of flexion.
