Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) helps in stabilizing the knee. It also prevents the knee from dislocating or moving outward. It is responsible to attach the patella (kneecap) to the femur (thigh bone). Together, these bones form the patellofemoral joint.
The dislocation of the patella or kneecap is the most common reason for the MPFL to get injured. Individuals with weak leg muscles, ligament laxity, deformed knee, etc., are at a greater risk of patella dislocation. Sportsperson ...more

Knee problems can be quite annoying but if this problem becomes regular, it brings life to a standstill. The movement becomes restricted. Many associated problems slowly crop up. Thus, it is best to nip the problem in the bud. While some people might experience a problem in the full knee, in some people, only a single compartment (tissue or cartilage) of the knee may be affected. For such patients, Unicondylar Knee Replacement comes as a blessing.
