Beighton Hypermobility Score and MPFL Patellar Instability

Calculate Beighton hypermobility score (0-9) to assess generalized joint hypermobility. Evaluate patellar instability risk from MPFL deficiency, trochlear dysplasia, and high TT-TG distance. Guides MPFL reconstruction vs tibial tubercle transfer decision.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate Beighton hypermobility score (0-9) to assess generalized joint hypermobility. Evaluate patellar instability risk from MPFL deficiency, trochlear dysplasia, and high TT-TG distance. Guides MPFL reconstruction vs tibial tubercle transfer decision

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • MPFL deficiency — The mpfl deficiency recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Trochlear dysplasia — The trochlear dysplasia recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • High TT-TG distance — The high tt-tg distance recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the beighton hypermobility mpfl result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the MPFL deficiency, trochlear dysplasia, high TT-TG distance for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate Beighton hypermobility score (0-9) to assess generalized joint hypermobility. Evaluate patellar instability risk from MPFL deficiency, trochlear dysplasia, and high TT-TG distance. Guides MPFL reconstruction vs tibial tubercle transfer decision. Use the beighton hypermobility mpfl result to inform your calculation.
