This study explores the impact of femoral version and tibial torsion on patellofemoral joint loading.
Key findings:
- Excessive tibial torsion can destabilize the patellofemoral joint by increasing lateral loading.
- Contrary to previous research, femoral version showed no correlation with patellofemoral loading.
- When tibial torsion was ignored (as in past studies), earlier findings were replicated—highlighting the importance of considering the entire lower leg morphology in clinical assessments.
- These insights could improve treatment strategies for patellofemoral instability, ensuring a more individualized approach to patient care!
