The purpose of this study is to observe the stress response of the patellofemoral joint associated with three patellar kinematics: shift, spin and tilt under femoral retroversion conditions. By assigning various flexions and different loads, the stresses were quantified in the bones, tendons, cartilages and cartilage–bone interface. Four different loads of 600, 657, 706 and 753 N were applied on 12 models representing each of the various kinematics of shifts, spins and tilts of the patella with femoral flexions of 30º, 60º, 90º and 120º which gave results for 48 analyses. The 'Q' angle of the femur bone was maintained at 14º with femoral retroversion of 21º. Based on the patellar kinematics, three different cases were modeled as (a) 5 mm shift 10º spin 4º tilt, (b) 10 mm shift 13º spin 8º tilt, and (c) 15 mm shift 16º spin 12º tilt. Medial shift, spin and tilt with femoral retroversion were limited in this study. The femoral displacement for 30º flexion at 600 N was found to be same in all the (a), (b), and (c) cases. Similarly, respective same displacements were achieved in all three cases when subjected to 60º flex at 657 N, 90º flex at 706 N and 120º flex at 753 N. From the simulated results it is inferred that femoral retroversion with case (b) kinematics susceptibly dominated by the cartilages causes patellofemoral joint pain, arthritis and instability due to the larger contact areas between the patella and femur bone at flexions 60º and 90º.
