Purpose The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the major medial soft-tissue stabiliser
of the patella, originating from the medial femoral condyle and inserting onto the medial …

Background: As the main passive structure preventing patellar lateral subluxation, accurate
knowledge of the anatomy, material properties, and functional behavior of the medial …

Patellar instability is a common problem seen by physical therapists, athletic trainers and
orthopedic surgeons. Although following an acute dislocation, conservative rehabilitation is …

Background: This study aims to provide biomechanical data on the effect of patella height in
the setting of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction using finite element …

Background Rehabilitation protocols following medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL)
reconstruction were historically restrictive, with patients often immobilized and/or given …

Background The medial patellofemoral ligament is the primary soft-tissue restraint to lateral
patella translation. Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction has become a viable …

Background The incidence of patellar subluxation or dislocation has been documented up to
43/100,000 with females more prevalent then males. There are many contributing factors …

Cartilage defects are common in the knee joint of active athletes and remain a problem as a
strong risk factor for osteoarthritis. We hypothesized that landing during sport activities …

摘要背景: 目前虽然膝关节半月板三维有限元生物力学分析的研究已有报道,
