Radiographic Predictors of Excessive Lower Limb Torsion in Patients With Recurrent Patellar Dislocation
This study showed that although patellar tilt angle demonstrated the highest predictive value among evaluated parameters, its diagnostic accuracy was limited and insufficient to replace cross-sectional imaging. Comprehensive preoperative evaluation of lower limb torsion remains critical for minimizing residual instability and improving outcomes after MPFLR.
