Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vastus medialis is responsible for preventing lateral patellar subluxation, as it helps to pull the patella medially (toward the midline of the body) and stabilize it in the trochlear groove of the femur. Vastus lateralis, on the other hand, can contribute to lateral patellar displacement if it is overactive or tight. Vastus intermedius and gracilis are not directly involved in patellar stabilization.
