The Anatomy of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament

American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2009
Background Fibrous connections and fibrofatty tissue between the layers of the medial retinaculum have prevented accurate definition of the true anatomy of the medial patellofemoral ligament. This has led to confusion about the origin, form, course, and insertion of this structure.

The Medial Patellofemoral Ligament

Orthopedics, 2008
There has been substantial progress in our understanding of the medial patellofemoral ligament during the past 10 years. This structure is the primary static soft-tissue restraint to lateral patellar displacement. Substantial alteration of normal patellar tracking occurs after sectioning of the ligament.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction

JBJS Reviews, 2015
In the general population, the overall incidence of acute patellar dislocation is 5.8 per 100,000 people in the United States1. The rate of patellar dislocation is estimated to be highest in the age group of ten to seventeen years, with reported rates of 29% to 43%1-3.

The Anatomy of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament

Orthopedics, 2017
Recurrent patellar dislocation is observed in many patients treated nonoperatively following primary dislocation. Injury to the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is reported in the majority of patients following dislocation. There is an increased interest in repair or reconstruction of the MPFL for patients experiencing recurrent ...

Functional bundles of the medial patellofemoral ligament

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 2010
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to explore the anatomy and evaluate the function of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). Anatomical dissection was performed on 12 fresh‐frozen knee specimens. The MPFL is a condensation of capsular fibers, which originates at the medial femoral condyle.

The medial patellofemoral ligament: a dissection study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 2002
AbstractThis study examined the anatomy including the innervation of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) and its relation to neighboring structures to help interpretation of magnetic resonance images and to improve the surgical approach to MPFL repair.

Functional Regions of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament

The Journal of Knee Surgery, 2018
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to explore the anatomy and discuss functional regions of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). Twelve fresh-frozen knees specimens were dissected. All medial surfaces of knees were intact and did not have indication of injury. General feature of the MPFL were observed.

Anatomy and biomechanics of the medial patellofemoral ligament

The Knee, 2003
The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is a band of retinacular tissue connecting the femoral medial epicondyle to the medial edge of the patella. The MPFL is approximately 55 mm long, and its width has been reported to range from 3 to 30 mm. The MPFL is overlaid by the distal part of vastus medialis obliquus to a variable extent, and fibres of MPFL

The Medial Patellofemoral Ligament

2014
The medial patellofemoral complex, consisting of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) and the medial patellotibial ligament, is the main passive stabiliser of the patellofemoral joint. Since it has been shown that rupture of the MPFL is the main pathological consequence of patellar dislocation and biomechanical studies have demonstrated that the ...
