Personalized alignment in total knee arthroplasty reduces patellar tilt: A retrospective study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1766-1775, May 2026.
Abstract Purpose Patellofemoral kinematics is crucial for patient satisfaction following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A postoperative patellar tilt greater than 5° has been associated with inferior clinical outcomes. While a femoral component external rotation beyond 3° is generally protective against patellar tilt, personalized alignment may not ...

Reflex response times of vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis in normal subjects and in subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome

, 1996
Various authors have indicated that imbalance of the vastus medialis/vastus lateralis muscles might lead to patellofemoral pain syndrome. However, few reports have been published to substantiate such a hypothesis. The purpose of this study was to attempt

Proprioceptive Control of Muscle Activation in Aging: Implications for Balance and Fall Risk

Biology
(1) Background: This study aimed to assess whether older adults exhibit greater discrepancies between intended and actual motor unit recruitment, which could affect the quality of muscle activation and potentially increase the risk of falls. (2) Methods:

The Effect of Concurrent Plantar Flexor Stretching and VMO Strengthening in Female Patients with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome [PDF]

Sport Sciences and Health Research, 2011
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the anatomical abnormalities and one of the most common knee problems, which causes anterior knee pain. Vastus medialis oblique (VMO) weakness and contracture of plantar flexors are among the most important ...

Examining Neuromuscular Control of the Vastus Medialis Oblique and Vastus Lateralis During Foundational Dance Movements [PDF]

, 2019
Elite dancers have higher rates of injury than college athletes; this may, in part, be due to improper alignment during dance movements. Electromyographic (EMG) activity at the vastus lateralis (VL) and vastus medialis oblique (VMO) may be important ...

Do the vastus medialis obliquus and vastus medialis longus really exist? A systematic review

, 2009
There remains controversy over whether the vastus medialis (VM) is a single anatomical structure or whether it is composed of two separate portions, the vastus medialis longus (VML) proximally and the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) distally.
