The association of patellofemoral joint morphology with chondromalacia patella: a quantitative MRI analysis.
[trochlear dysplasia]
The
relationship
of
patellofemoral
congruency
with
chondromalacia
patellae
(
CP
)
was
retrospectively
evaluated
.
Lateral
patellar
tilt
angle
(
LPTA
)
,
sulcus
angle
(
SA
)
,
trochlear
depth
(
TD
)
,
and
patella
angle
(
PA
)
were
measured
at
301
knee
magnetic
resonance
images
and
compared
between
groups
with
and
without
CP
.
In
the
CP
group
,
LPTA
and
TD
were
significantly
low
(
P
<
.
01
)
,
SA
was
high
(
P
<
.
01
)
,
while
PA
showed
no
difference
(
P
>
.
05
)
.
The
parameters
were
also
compared
between
groups
with
mild
and
severe
CP
,
and
no
significant
difference
was
found
(
P
>
.
05
)
.
Our
results
demonstrate
that
patellar
tilt
and
trochlear
dysplasia
are
related
to
the
presence
but
not
the
degree
of
CP
.
