INTRAOPERATIVE FEMORAL NERVE STIMULATION IN EVALUATION OF PATELLAR TRACKING: TOURNIQUET EFFECTS AND CATHETER PLACEMENT

BACKGROUND: Dynamic intraoperative assessment of patella tracking utilizes femoral nerve stimulation to contract the quadriceps muscles in assessing the proper distance to transfer the tibial tubercle during distal realignment procedures for patellofemoral instability. PURPOSE: We describe the effec...
