Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using an endobutton device: A narrative review

Since the recognition of MPFL as the primary soft-tissue restraint to lateral displacement of the patella, its reconstruction gained popularity either alone or in combination with other procedures. Today, although there are plenty of techniques described in the literature, there is no consensus regarding which one is better. MPFL reconstruction using an endobutton device has been proved to be a reliable option with satisfying clinical results. Single or dual tunnel can be done depending on surgeon's preference. For safer outcomes more randomized controlled trials should be done while authors should be more meticulous when it comes to surgical technique.
