Koenen P, et al. - Authors compared the accuracy of palpation of anatomic landmarks and intraoperative fluoroscopy for femoral tunnel placement. They noted that the use of intraoperative fluoroscopy in medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction led to more accurate femoral tunnel positioning vs the method of palpation of anatomic landmarks. As per data, to minimize the incidence of malpositioning and to restore native patellofemoral biomechanics, the use of intraoperative fluoroscopy ought to be recommended for femoral tunnel placement in daily surgical practice.
