Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament has recently become popular for restoring patellofemoral stability. Femoral insertion site anatomy of the medial patellofemoral ligament has been described. This anatomical insertion has been inferred to be the isometric point in medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, but data about radiographic landmarks for a postoperative or intraoperative control are missing. ⋯ This radiographic point may be useful both intraoperatively and postoperatively.
