Experimental clinical study: role of the medial patellofemoral ligament in providing patella stability

The authors explore anatomic structure and topographic orientation of the medial patellofemoral ligament and carry out a comparative analysis of surgical treatment results in patients with chronic patellar instability. Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction is an effective method of surgical treatment that promotes early postoperative rehabilitation of patients and allows a restoration of the congruency of patellofemoral joint and minimizes the surgical trauma.
