The Role of Abnormal Tibiofemoral Rotation in Pediatric and Adolescent Patellar Instability

摘要

Objectives:Abnormal patellofemoral tracking has been implicated in patellar instability and can be influenced by the bony anatomy and alignment of the femoral trochlea, patella, and tibial tubercle. Tibiofemoral joint rotation has been recently suggested to play a role in patellofemoral kinematics but there has been little investigation of its contribution to patellar instability, including in pediatric and adolescent patients.
