Fig. 1From: Biomechanical analysis of canine medial patellar luxation with femoral varus deformity using a computer modelThe patellar position in the FE models at the last moment of constant loading on the rectus femoris muscle. The patella tended to luxate with aLDFAs equal to and greater than 103° when other factors were controlled. The fringe levels indicate the magnitude of displacement of the patella from the groove, and the units of measurement are millimetersBack to article page
