Abstract:
Objectives To study the anatomic characteristic of medial patellar retinaculum and its function in patellar stability. Methods Anatomic dissection of the medial patellar retinaculum was performed on 26 knees of 13 embalmed cadaveric specimens,and its composition and conducted functional studies of the several parts were observed respectively. Results The medial patellar retinaculum comprises patellofemoral ligament, patellotibial ligament and patellomeniscal ligament. The medial patellofemoral ligament which is the thickest part in the medial patellar retinaculum contributes to the major restraints to the lateral patellar displacement.
