Patellofemoral instability with dislocation and rupture of the medial patellofemoral ligament is common, as are traumatically induced dislocations. Resulting or isolated retropatellar cartilage damage is an injury with multiple treatment options. MPFL reconstruction using a gracilis tendon graft in a double-bundle technique is a modern, proven procedure. In cartilage surgery, matrix-associated chondrocyte transplantation (MACT) has become well established. The aim of this study was to assess the subjective, clinical and MR-imaging 2-year outcome after the respective intervention or the combination of both procedures.
