Use of allograft can preserve native tissue in children and can be advantageous in patients with connective tissue disorders, including ligamentous laxity. There is limited evidence regarding functional outcomes of allograft MPFL reconstruction in children and adolescents. This study aimed to assess the short to mid-term results of allograft MPFL reconstruction in children with hypermobility at a tertiary pediatric orthopedic center.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrospectively reviewed all children and adolescents who had undergone allograft MPFL reconstruction over 4 years. The primary outcome measure was the validated Kujala score for patellofemoral disorders. The secondary outcome measures included complications such as redislocation of the patella needing revision surgery. Patients with hypermobility were quantified using Beighton criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using Graph Pad Prism (V6).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Between 2012 and 2016, the senior author performed 76 allograft MPFL reconstructions in 57 patients. Nineteen patients had bilateral surgery. The mean age was 14 (7\u201316) years with a female: male ratio of 3:1. The mean Beighton score was 7. Hypermobility was part of a syndrome in ten patients. The mean follow-up was 3 (1\u20134) years. Nine patients had trochleoplasty and six patients had tibial tubercle osteotomy, in addition to allograft MPFL reconstruction. These fifteen patients, who had additional procedures, were excluded during the analysis of the outcome measures. The mean Kujala score was 89 (80\u2013100). The overall complication rate was 11% (9\/76). These included two patella fractures and seven (9%) patients with recurrent instability needing revision surgery. There was no significant difference in complication rates between syndromic and nonsyndromic patients (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      =
