This in vitro study, conducted with an experimental protocol previously validated in the literature, helps quantify the actions of the MPFL, the VMO, and the MPML/MPTL respectively, and identify areas of joint motion where these structures have the most significant influence. This confirms the importance of reconstruction in the treatment of chronic patellar instability. During its reconstruction, care should be taken to adjust the MPFL balance during the initial 20°-30° of flexion.
