Chronic patellofemoral instability is a complex problem caused by bone malformation, soft tissue abnormalities, and joint laxity and occurs mainly in adolescent females. It is also induced by medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injury. The MPFL is the primary stabilizer of the patellofemoral joint (PFJ); it stabilizes the patella medially during knee motion and controls patellar tracking, providing approximately 53% 60% of restraining force. There are rare case reports of MPFL reconstruction in for a complex patellofemoral dislocation with full thickness MPFL tear in young females.WereportararecaseofPFJdislocationwithMPFLtearinayoungfemalewhowasinjured by slip and fall at her residence; she then underwent MPFL reconstruction and exhibited satisfactory progress.
