•AD, LMX1B mutation (Lim homeobox transcription factor 1b)
•Type 5 collagen abnormality
•Problem with progress zone Wnt in limb bud (controlling ventral-dorsal relationship)
•Diagnostic Tetrad
•Atrophic nails (usually thumb)
•Hypoplastic/ absent patella “Empty trochlear groove”
•Iliac horns (pathognomonic, 80%)
•Hypoplastic radial head +/- subluxation → FFC
•Also assess for external tibial torsion, thickened tight ITB and lateral retinaculum, and tight quadriceps
•Association: glaucoma, nephropathy

Other conditions with congenital patellar dislocation:

•Larson syndrome
•Arthrogryposis
•Down syndrome
