Consensus guidelines for management of patellofemoral instability
Knee, 2021The aim of this consensus process was to provide robust national guidelines to assist with decision making with regards to surgical management of patellofemoral instability.A national group of surgeons, physiotherapists, basic scientists and a radiologist with expert experience in patellofemoral instability was convened.

CHRONIC PATELLOFEMORAL INSTABILITY
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1996The patellofemoral joint is intrinsically unstable because the tibial tubercle lies lateral to the long axis of the femur and the quadriceps muscle, and the patella is therefore subject to a laterally directed force. This apparent ‘design fault’ is minimised by the resistance of the lateral lip of the trochlea to lateral movement of the patella during ...

Patellofemoral Instability: Evaluation and Management
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 1997Patellofemoral disorders are a common cause of knee pain and disability. A thorough history and a careful physical examination are essential to accurate diagnosis, and imaging modalities play an important role. Magnetic resonance imaging can provide information on malalignment and soft-tissue injuries.

Patellofemoral Instability in Active Adolescents
Journal of Knee Surgery, 2015Patellofemoral instability is a common problem in the adolescent population. Patellar stability depends on a dynamic interplay between bony and soft tissue restraints. Several pathoanatomical factors increase the likelihood of patellar instability: patella alta, trochlear dysplasia, malalignment, and deficient proximal medial restraints.

Imaging in Patellofemoral Instability
Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review, 2012Imaging in patellofemoral instability confirms the diagnosis and guides treatment. It is essential to the accurate diagnosis of the root causes and their adequate treatment. A structured approach must be used to identify the factors causing instability, and more than 1 imaging modality may provide similar information.

Bulletin of the NYU hospital for joint diseases, 2009
This review describes the normal patellofemoral joint and detail the mechanism and anatomic elements that predispose patients to patellar instability. The treatment options for both acute and chronic injuries are described and the rationale behind their approach to this problem is explained.

Patellofemoral instability: an overview
Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2019Abstract Patellofemoral instability (PFI) occurs when patellar maltracking becomes symptomatic, ranging from a positive apprehension test to recurrent dislocation. It is a common condition in the knee, particularly in the adolescent population. There are a range of modalities helpful in investigating this group of patients. Emphasis must be placed on

Biomechanics of patellofemoral instability
Operative Techniques in Sports Medicine, 2001Abstract The patellofemoral joint functions as a complex extensor apparatus with important biomechanical contributions provided by both articular contact and the surrounding soft tissues. The patella must remain relatively stable while tracking along the anterior and distal surfaces of the femur.

(vii) Patellofemoral instability
Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2010Abstract The accurate assessment and management of the unstable patellofemoral joint depends on knowledge of the anatomy and stabilizing structures. Surgery should not be considered until non-operative interventions have failed and the recurrent nature of the disease has resulted in functional impairment.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) Reconstruction for the Treatment of Patellofemoral Instability
Journal of Knee Surgery, 2013Patellofemoral instability can be a disabling problem. Numerous techniques are employed for its treatment. Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction in combination with other procedures has been explored by many orthopedic surgeons. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of isolated MPFL reconstruction in treating the ...
