Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction normalizes patellar kinematics but fails to predict cartilage contact area: A prospective 3D MRI study

Abstract Introduction The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the main patellar stabilizer in low knee flexion degrees (0–30°). Isolated MPFL reconstruction (MPFLr) is therefore considered the gold standard of surgical procedures for low flexion patellofemoral instabilities (PFIs). Despite exce...
