| 1 | Quadriceps and patellar tendons show normal signal intensity. | |
| 2 | Nonetheless, in our study, the LPFL was the only structure that required release in 9 knees. | |
| 3 | A small knee flexion is associated with a large patella tendon-tibia shaft angle and ACL elevation angle, which would result in great ACL loading. | |
| 4 | Conclusion:The medial tibial periosteal flap pedicled with the inferior patellar branches can be transposed for the treatment of the defect of genicular articular surface. | |
| 5 | When any anteromedial approach is made, including one for meniscectomy , the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve should be protected (Fig. 1-39). |
