Abstract
Patellofemoral instability is a generic term that indicates subluxation/dislocation of the patella, and general symptomatic patellar instability. Patellofemoral instability is one of the most prevalent knee disorders in adolescent and young adult patients and can cause significant functional limitations in daily living activities. The pathophysiology is often multifactorial and complex. The exact understanding of this complex pathophysiology is a top priority in the management of patellofemoral instability.
