Core Tip	This is a case series of patients presenting with an initial history of anterior knee pain who underwent lateral capsular surgical release procedure at an outside institution. They were referred to us after a dramatic increase in their knee problems following this procedure, including recurrent medial patellar instability and pain. There are two techniques in the current literature that describe lateral patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. Here we present a third technique, as well as the specific physical examination that indicated each patient for surgery. This is an important topic because of the debilitating nature of these iatrogenic symptoms, and the 100% relief of medial patellar subluxation we were able to accomplish in the postoperative period.
