Abstract
This is the case of a 35-year-old female (171 cm in height and 53 kg, BMI 18.1) who came to my office for a second opinion for right anterior knee pain (AKP) after having undergone a previous medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr). The AKP was the main complaint and the secondary complaint was patellar instability.
