The Operative Management of Patella Malalignment
Management of patellofemoral joint pathology is challenging as a result of the unique and complex organization of static forces and dynamic factors contributing to its functional capacity. Anterior knee pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint seen daily in the practices of primary care physicians, rheumatologists, and orthopedic surgeons. The key to successful treatment lies not only in the ...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Relationship between Anterior Knee Pain and Chondromalacia Patellae and Patellofemoral Malalignment.
Objective The study aimed to investigate whether there is any association of anterior knee pain and knee function with chondromalacia stage and patellofemoral alignment in patients with anterior knee pain for over a month and with chondromalacia patellae (CMP) detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods We reviewed the medical records of 38 patients who underwent a kne...
متن کاملRecurrent dislocation of the patella accompanying hypotrochlea of the femur and malalignment of the patella
This case report describes a rare case of recurrent dislocation of the patella which was accompanied with trochlear dysplasia and malalignment of the patella in a 15-year-old girl. She complained of hemoarthrosis and recurrent patellar dislocation in the early knee flexion phase. Plain radiography and computed tomography (CT) showed patellar malalignment (quadriceps angle 20°) and severe dyspla...
متن کاملPatellar maltracking is prevalent among patellofemoral pain subjects with patella alta: an upright, weightbearing MRI study.
The purpose of this study is to determine if patellar maltracking is more prevalent among patellofemoral (PF) pain subjects with patella alta compared to subjects with normal patella height. We imaged 37 PF pain and 15 pain free subjects in an open-configuration magnetic resonance imaging scanner while they stood in a weightbearing posture. We measured patella height using the Caton-Deschamps, ...
متن کاملRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KNEE MALALIGNMENT AND QANGLE WITH AGE AT ONSET OF DISEASE IN 260 CHONDROMALACIA PATELLA PATIENTS
Background: Chondromalacia patella is the most common cause of mechanical knee pain in young women. Q angle and knee alignment are important clinical parameters for biomechanics of the patellofemoral joint. Objective: To identify the prevalence of knee malalignment and to find out if there is a correlation between knee mal alignment and Q angle with age at onset of disease. Methods: All pa...
