Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction with hanger lifting procedure
Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 10/19/09

Maeno S et al. – Using a semi–loop–shaped hanger, the harvested Gracillis tendon is passed through the bone tunnel using a passing pin. Under extra–articular arthroscopy with the “hanger lifting procedure”, this tendon is then led back to the superomedial portal. Both ends of the Gracillis tendon are then led to the femoral fixation site posterosuperior to the medial epicondyle with a tendon passer, and fixed by an absorbable interference screw. This procedure can be performed under a minimum incision using a hanger, but control radiographs should be taken to confirm appropriate placement of bone tunnels.
