“…Surgical repair and reconstruction of the MPFL is an established method for the treatment of patellar dislocation [18][19][20][21][22]. For successful surgery detailed knowledge of the MPFL anatomy is essential.…”

“…So far, no other studies have been published concerning this specific MPFL reconstruction technique. Although many repair or reconstructive techniques of the MPFL have been described [6,14,15,17,36,40,42,47], the studies have lacked control groups and have reported only short-or midterm followup.…”

“…The frequency and complexity of clinical problems has led to a wide range of surgical procedures 1 that address joint geometry, 2,3 skeletal alignment, [4][5][6][7] or the soft tissues. 8,9 Little data are available providing objective information about the effects of these factors on patellar tracking or relationships to symptoms. 10 Patellar ''maltracking'' implies that the patella is not following a normal stable path of movement, within the femoral trochlear groove, when the knee is flexing-extending.…”

Patellofemoral kinematics during knee flexion-extension: An in vitro study

2006

The purpose of this work was to obtain kinematics data for the normal human patellofemoral joint in vitro. Eight fresh-frozen cadaver knees were used. The heads of the quadriceps were separated, and the knees mounted in a kinematics rig. The femoral axis was aligned with an electromagnetic transmitter. The six heads of the quadriceps, including vasti medialis and lateralis obliquus, were loaded via cables according to their physiological cross-sectional areas and orientations. Magnetic trackers were mounted on the patella and tibia. The knee was flexedextended against the extending muscle action, and patellar tracking was measured in six degrees of freedom. As the knee flexed, the patella flexed by 0.7 times the tibiofemoral flexion angle. It also translated medially 4 mm to engage the trochlear groove at 208 knee flexion, then translated to 7 mm lateral by 908 knee flexion. The patella tilted progressively to 78 lateral by 908 knee flexion, and patellar medial-lateral rotation was usually less than 38. This is believed to be the first set of patellar tracking data obtained in both flexion and extension motion while the patella was acted on by a full set of quadriceps muscle tensions acting in physiological directions. These data may be used in future studies of the effects of pathologies on patellar tracking. ß
