Abstract:Objectives: Accuracy of femoral tunnel positioning is critical during medial patellofemoral complex (MPFC) reconstruction, as even 5mm of malpositioning has been associated with altered patellofemoral contact pressures. To help identify the appropriate position for femoral tunnel placement, Schottle and others have described radiographic landmarks to identify the MPFC footprint on lateral knee radiographs. These measurements are based on an extension of the posterior cortical line, which can vary based on the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
