A cadaveric model to evaluate the effect of unloading the medial quadriceps on patellar tracking and patellofemoral joint pressure and stability

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2018
Background Vastus Medialis Muscles (VMM) damage has been widely identified following patellar dislocation. Rehabilitation programmes have been suggested to strengthen the VMM and reduce clinical symptoms of pain and instability.

Vastus medialis cross-sectional area is positively associated with patella cartilage and bone volumes in a pain-free community-based population [PDF]

, 2008
INTRODUCTION: Although vastus medialis and lateralis are important determinants of patellofemoral joint function, their relationship with patellofemoral joint structure is unknown.

Surgical Technique: Anatomic Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Retensioning Repair

Arthroscopy Techniques, 2018
The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) and the MPFL/vastus medialis obliquus complex are essential for patellar stability. Insufficiency of the MPFL can lead to altered biomechanics and patellofemoral joint contact pressure, high recurrence rate ...

Patellar Malalignment Combined With Deformed Valgus Knee Treated by Distal Femoral Varus Osteotomy and Retrograde Intramedullary Nailing. [PDF]

Orthop Surg
Patellar malalignment combined with a deformed valgus knee is treated. After the nail inlet hole is created, the distal femur is obliquely osteotomized by creating a posterior cam on the distal bony fragment. The cam is consequently inserted into the marrow cavity of the proximal bony fragment and the desired axis of the lower extremity is realigned. A

The interaction between the vastus medialis and vastus intermedius and its influence on the extensor apparatus of the knee joint [PDF]

, 2017
Although the vastus medialis (VM) is closely associated with the vastus intermedius (VI), there is a lack of data regarding their functional relationship.

Mittelfristige Ergebnisse der Vastus-medialis-obliquus-Plastik bei lateraler Patellaluxation [PDF]

Der Orthopäde, 2005
In Langzeitergebnissen nach traditionellen Operationsverfahren distalen Realignements fur Patellaluxationen wie z. B. der Tuberositasosteotomie wird eine hohe Rate an Femoropatellararthrosen gefunden, sodass ein operatives Vorgehen noch heute kontrovers diskutiert wird.

Association Between Hip Rotation and Activation of the Quadriceps and Gluteus Maximus in Male Runners

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2020
Background: Although running can provide health benefits, knee joint injuries are frequently reported by recreational runners. To date, the precise mechanism responsible for anterior knee pain remains elusive, and the source of symptoms is debated ...

Function of the Distal Part of the Vastus Medialis Muscle as a Generator of Knee Extension Twitch Torque

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2020
The distal part of the vastus medialis (VM) (VM obliquus: VMO) muscle acts as the medial stabilizer of the patella. However, it has been known to facilitate VMO contraction during training of the quadriceps femoris muscle in knee joint rehabilitation ...

Comparison of hamstring and quadriceps tendon autografts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with gait analysis and surface electromyography

Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2021
Background Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is the most frequent ligamentous injury of the knee joint. Autografts of hamstring (HS) or quadriceps tendons (QT) are used for primary ACL reconstruction.
