Background: Given the proximity of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) femoral
insertion to the distal femoral physis in skeletally immature patients, multiple techniques for …

The iliotibial band (ITB) has an important role in knee mechanics and tightness can cause
patellofemoral maltracking. This study investigated the effects of increasing ITB tension on …

Background Increased internal femoral torsion is regarded as a risk factor for patellar
instability. Biomechanical investigations confirming this hypothesis are missing. Methods …

The patellofemoral (PF) joint plays an essential role in knee function, but little is known
about the in vivo loading conditions at the joint. We hypothesized that the forces at the PF …

Introduction: Evidence on the management of chondral defects of the patella arises from
studies in which the patellofemoral joint was treated together with the femorotibial joint and …

Patellofemoral pain is a frequent and often challenging clinical problem. It affects females
more than males and includes many different pathologic entities that result in pain in the …

The current study was performed to characterize how improving vastus medialis obliquus
(VMO) function influences the pressure applied to patellofemoral cartilage. An additional …

Although lateral retinacular releases are not uncommon, there is very little scientific
knowledge about the properties of these tissues, on which to base a rationale for the …

Background: The comparative clinical outcome of anatomic reconstruction of the medial
patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) between the Y-graft technique and C-graft technique for …
