(A) Intraoperative photograph of the allograft loop fixed to the patella. In addition, the Beath pin is seen at the femoral incision and projects anteriorly and proximally. (B) Intraoperative photograph in which passing sutures are secured to the allograft loop. After blunt dissection, the allograft is placed between the vastus medialis and joint capsule layers and shuttled from the patellar incision to the femoral incision using the passing suture (the path is indicated by the dashed lines). (C) Allograft loop at the femoral incision site. MPFL, medial patellofemoral ligament.
