The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) has been demonstrated to contribute to 60 % of the force that opposes lateral displacement of the patella. Recent years have seen a growing interest in the study of this important anatomical structure, which acts as a restraint during motion, playing an active role under conditions of laterally applied stress, but an only marginal role during natural knee flexion. However, it remains extremely difficult to clearly define the anatomy of the MPFL and its relationships with other anatomical structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
