Abstract
Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injury occurred when the patella dislocated laterally during sport activity and trauma. In the cadaver study, MPFL weighted 60 % to protect lateral force [1], and the MPFL is injured in more than 90 % of patellar dislocation [2]. Thus, MPFL function is one of most important factors in patellar stability.
