Abstract:
Patellofemoral instability is a complex pathology with multiple risk factors, which affects mostly young females and may avert them from both activities of daily living and sports participation. Risk factors for instability include patella alta, trochlea dysplasia, abnormal lateral patellar tilt, and increased tibial tuberosity-trochlea groove distance. The knowledge of these anatomical abnormalities is the key to identifying the problem and succeeding in treating the patients.
