Linear regression analysis revealed a significant decrease in the annual frequency of lower-extremity injuries presenting to U.S. EDs from 2008 to 2022 (<em>P</em> = .001). The most common injury mechanism was overwhelmingly a noncontact twisting motion (11,108, 35.5%) followed by a hit/collision (5,298, 16.9%).

The native MPFL (n = 8) was isolated, preserving the femoral and patellar attachments, and pulled to failure. The semi-T was harvested from 1 of the matched pairs and whipstitched, as was a 250-mm × 5-mm RBI. A standard double-bundle docking technique was utilized. The patella was potted and mechanically pulled parallel to the transverse axis until failure in both cohorts. Cyclic creep, load and displacement at failure, failure mode, and stiffness were recorded.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Failure load was highest in the RBI with repair group (287 ± 130 N) compared to the native MPFL (219 ± 64 N) and the semi-T group (84 ± 29 N). No statistically significant difference in failure load between the RBI augmentation with repair group and the native ligament (<em>P</em> = .19) were found. The semi-T reconstruction group failed at the least amount of displacement (7.93 ± 3.4 mm) compared to the native MPFL (20.9 ± 9 mm) (<em>P</em> &lt; .01) and the RBI with repair group (33.2 ± 17.7 mm) (<em>P</em> &lt; .02). At 10 mm of displacement, the RBI group (8.3 ± 1.2 N/mm) demonstrated stiffness in the midrange compared to the native MPFL (14.1 ± 7.1 N/mm).
