Measurement of tibial tuberosity–trochlear groove distance: evaluation of inter- and intraobserver correlation dependent on the severity of trochlear dysplasia
Excessive tibial tuberosity–trochlear groove distance (TT–TG) is considered as one of the major risk factors in patellofemoral instability (PFI). TT–TG characterises the lateralisation of the tibial tuberosity...

Analysis of failure and clinical outcome after unsuccessful medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction in young patients
Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) has become a popular procedure for patients with patellofemoral instability. Nevertheless, complication rates of up to 26 % have been reported. This ...

Open AccessImpact of five different medial patellofemoral ligament-reconstruction strategies and three different graft pre-tensioning states on the mean patellofemoral contact pressure: a biomechanical study on human cadaver knees
The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the main stabiliser of the patella and thus mostly reconstructed in the surgical treatment of patellofemoral dislocation. The aims of this study were to gain a bett...
