Abstract:PurposeTo describe the proximity of the neurovascular structures surrounding the adductor magnus (ADM), to delineate a safe boundary focusing on the techniques used during graft harvest and to evaluate whether the length of the ADM tendon is sufficient for safe medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction.
MethodsSixteen formalin‐fixed cadavers were dissected. The area surrounding the ADM, the adductor tubercle (AT) and the adductor hiatus was exposed. The following measurements were performed: the (1)… Show more
