Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the relationship between interarticular tibiofemoral rotation and patella instability. They reference previous research by Rene Attal and Phil Schottel, as well as Jeff Nepple and his group at Wash U. They present their own study comparing normal patients, standard patella instability patients, and severe patella instability patients. They found that there was a significant difference in tibiofemoral rotation between the groups, with the severe group showing the most rotation. They also discuss the impact of MPFL reconstruction and patella realignment on tibiofemoral rotation. They conclude that these procedures can change rotation in severe cases of pediatric patella instability.
