Patellar instability: current approach [PDF]
Abstract Patellar dislocations present predominantly during adolescence, with a higher incidence observed among female patients. Patellofemoral joint stability depends critically on both osseous anatomy and soft tissue structures. Patellofemoral pathology can be classified into three major groups: objective patellar instability OPI ...

Prediction of Contralateral Patellar Instability after Ipsilateral Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction [PDF]
Background: About 10-16% of patients with patellar instability have bilateral involvement. The risk factors to predict future contralateral patellar instability in patients who present with ipsilateral patellar instability are not known.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction During Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty in Patients With Pre-existing Patellar Instability: Surgical Technique [PDF]
The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is vital for patellar stability and tracking within the trochlear groove in early flexion. Although MPFL reconstruction is a well-established treatment for patellar instability in native knees, its role during ...

Patellar Instability: Diagnostic Workup [PDF]
Background: The patella is a sesamoid bone that comprises a vital component of the extensor mechanism of the knee. It has static and dynamic restraints that differ throughout range of motion of the knee. Tracking, and potentially maltracking, are impacted additionally by the bony anatomy of the pelvis, femur ...

Patellar Tendon–Lateral Trochlear Ridge Distance Measurement as an Indicator of Patellar Instability With Malalignment [PDF]
Background: There exist multiple radiographic measurements to assess patellar instability and maltracking. While originally described as a measurement predictive of patellar instability, patellar tendon–lateral trochlear ridge distance (PT-LTR) has not ...

3D Patellar instability Anatomical Severity Score (3D-PASS): A Novel Machine Learning Score Using 3D Bone Position From MRI to Predict Outcomes of Patellar Instability Treatment (Using a Subset of Data in the JUPITER Cohort) [PDF]
Background: Patellar instability treatment outcomes vary. Early prediction of patient responses to treatment is needed to personalize interventions, reduce recurrent instability, and improve outcomes.

Patellar instability is a common injury that can result in significant limitations of activity and long-term arthritis. There is a high risk of recurrence in patients and operative management is often indicated. Advances in the understanding of patellofemoral anatomy, such as knowledge about the medial patellofemoral ligament, tibial tubercle-trochlear
