The term patellar instability is defined in different ways. For example, it is used to signify a
clinical entity or diagnosis,(eg, a traumatic dislocation of the kneecap)[1]. It is used as a sign …

Inaugural traumatic patellar dislocation is most often due to trauma sustained during
physical or sports activity. Two-thirds of acute patellar dislocations occur in young active …

Abstract Background Lateral Patella dislocations are common injuries seen in the active and
young adult populations. Our study focus was to evaluate medial patellofemoral ligament …

The tensile strength of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), and of surgical
procedures which reconstitute it, are unknown. Ten fresh cadaver knees were prepared by …

Aims The aim of this study was to establish consensus statements on medial patellofemoral
ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, anteromedialization tibial tubercle osteotomy …

Background: Recurrent patellar instability is a common problem after dislocation. The medial
patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) contributes 40–80% of the total medial restraining forces …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anatomical morphology and measurement
of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), especially the femoral attachment. A total of …

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe the technique of medial patellofemoral
ligament reconstruction using autogenous hamstrings or autogenous fascia lata and report …

Background: Incompetence of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is an integral
factor in patellofemoral instability. Reconstruction of this structure is gaining increasing …

The management of patellar dislocation syndrome has traditionally been difficult. There are
no golden standard methods for patellar dislocations probably due to the many etiologies …
