Chronic patellofemoral instability.
The 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 flexion (Brattström 1964). In full extensio...
متن کاملAssessment and management of chronic patellofemoral instability.
Chronic patellofemoral instability can be a disabling condition. Management of patients with this condition has improved owing to our increased knowledge of the functional anatomy of the patellofemoral joint. Accurate assessment of the underlying pathology in the unstable joint enables the formulation of appropriate treatment. The surgical technique employed in patients for whom non-operative m...
متن کاملMedial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using the Hamstring Tendon for Patellofemoral Joint Instability in an 81-Year-Old Female
INTRODUCTION Chronic patellofemoral instability occurs mainly in adolescent females and can also be induced by medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injury. There are no case reports of MPFL reconstruction for chronic patellofemoral instability due to MPFL injury in aged populations. CASE PRESENTATION 81-year-old female presented with left knee pain, giving way, and patellar instability while...
متن کاملPatellofemoral disorders and instability.
Originally the main idea was to obtain a stable patella, i.e., to stabilize the "slipping patella". In the past many conditions like patella alta, ligamentous laxity, PF bone hypoplasia, weakness of the quadriceps muscle, genu valgum or genu recurvatum were thought to predispose to patellar instability. For a long period muscle exercises were instituted to strengthen the weak m.vastus medialis ...
متن کاملPatellofemoral Instability: A Consensus Statement From the AOSSM/PFF Patellofemoral Instability Workshop
To come to some consensus on the state of knowledge and opinion regarding the definitions of patellofemoral stability and instability, the clinical evaluation of patients with suspected patellar instability, treatment recommendations, and future directions of study on this subject, a workshop was jointly funded by the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and the Patellofemora...
