Patellofemoral disorders and instability
Patellofemoral (PF) disorders are a common cause of knee pain and sometimes it can be quite difficult to make a diagnosis, because, besides PF disorders due to lateral compression or instability, the pain may be caused by a parapatellar postraumatic disorder, overuse syndrome, sympathetic algodystrophy or internal knee derangement.

The Role of Trochleoplasty in Patellofemoral Instability [PDF]
The management of recurrent patellofemoral instability is challenging. The etiology of the instability is multifactorial, requiring the examination of lower limb alignment, relationship of the patella to the trochlear groove and tibial tubercle, and the soft-tissue restraints.

Complex Patellofemoral Reconstruction for Recurrent Instability [PDF]
Background: Patellofemoral instability is due to a combination of bony and soft tissue factors. While recurrent patellar dislocations are rare, evaluation and treatment of these conditions require addressing patellar height and lateralization of the tibial tubercle (TT), restraint to lateral patellar subluxation,

Patellar instability is common in the second decade, and genu valgum is a risk factor for patellar instability. In skeletally immature patients, genu valgum can be gradually corrected using less-invasive, well-established, growth-modulation techniques ...
