Abstract EN
Patellar instability is a common finding in patients with below-knee amputation and yet management options are not commonly described in the literature.
We describe the first reported case of a medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using allograft in a patient with a below-knee amputation.
Clinical outcome at two-year follow-up remains very good.
