Summary
This study looked at whether releasing a ligament on the outer side of the knee (lateral retinaculum) during MPFL reconstruction surgery helps people with recurring kneecap dislocation. 140 adults aged 18-45 who needed MPFL surgery took part. The goal was to see if the extra release improved kneecap alignment or led to more complications.
