What approach do you guys take with medial retinaculum rupture - or MPFL rupture - in a patient with lateral patellar dislocation? PT or surgery? It's my understanding that the tendons of the VMO merge with the retinaculum - in that case, would strengthening the VMO be sufficient to stabilize the patella? Not sure where to get solid info on this.

Not that I dislocated my patella or anything,
nvshelat, MSII
