Results: The medial patellar ligaments responsible for maintaining the stability of the patellofemoral (PF) joint include the MPFL, the MPTL, and the MPML. The MPFL is considered the primary restraint to lateral patellar translation, while the …

Mar 13, 2017 · The medial patellar ligaments responsible for maintaining the stability of the patellofemoral (PF) joint against lateral patella translation are the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), the medial patellotibial ligament (MPTL), and the …

Oct 30, 2023 · Patellomeniscal ligament: comprised of a medial and lateral patellomeniscal ligament, often described as simply medial and lateral ligaments. These ligaments run from the inferior third of the patella to insert on the anterior portion …

The MPML inserts into the medial meniscus and into the distal pole of the patella. They present with identifiable anatomic and radiographic parameters. Grafts commonly used for ligament reconstructions should be adequate for reconstruction of the MPTL.

Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) insufficiency is confirmed by lateral subluxation of the patella with the knee flexed at 30° and compared with the normal contralateral knee. A vertical medial parapatellar skin incision is carried out.

The knee retinaculum has been identified as a trigger point for anterior knee pain, 2 and it has been suggested that the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), the second and thickest layer of the medial retinaculum, is responsible for patellofemoral pain in adolescents. 6–8 Anterior knee pain centered in the MPFL has been associated with tightn...

This technique video describes our combined reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament (MQTFL), and medial patellotibial ligament (MPTL) for patellar instability. It describes the indications, physical examination findings, and necessary setup and equipment utilized for the reconstruction.

The medial ligaments responsible for maintaining the stability of the patellofemoral (PF) joint are the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), medial patellotibial ligament (MPTL), and medial patellomeniscal ligament (MPML).

Mar 13, 2017 · Results: The medial patellar ligaments responsible for maintaining the stability of the patellofemoral (PF) joint include the MPFL, the MPTL, and the MPML. The MPFL is considered the...

Oct 1, 2017 · To describe the anatomy (quantitative macroscopic and histologic), radiographic parameters of the insertions, and biomechanical characteristics of the medial ligamentous restrictors of the patella (medial patellofemoral ligament [MPFL], medial patellotibial ligament [MPTL], and medial patellomeniscal ligament [MPML]) in cadaveric knees. Because ...
