Core Tip	An increasing number of revision surgeries of the reconstructed medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) will be seen in the foreseeable future. There are several reasons for this trend: (1) The increasing number of primary MPFL reconstructions; (2) The fact that more and more orthopedic surgeons perform this surgical technique; and (3) The high percentage of patients returning to sport after this type of surgery and thereby put the reconstructed ligament at risk. Our paper tries to answer a crucial question: What must we do to reduce the number of failed MPFL reconstructions? Furthermore, we analyze our approach to dealing with failure after MPFL reconstruction.
