DOI: 10.1007/s00402-025-06023-3
Abstract: Patellar instability is a multifactorial pathology that poses significant challenges for orthopaedic surgeons in accurately diagnosing and effectively addressing its underlying causes. Recently, increased femorotibial (FT) rotation has been shown to contribute to patellar instability… read more here.
