چکیده

background: abnormal patellar height is associated with anterior knee pain and several conditions that affect the patellofemoral joint. the aim of this study was to 1) report the incidence of patella alta and patella baja and 2) investigate whether the normal limits of the insall-salvati ratio is applicable in adult middle-easterners. methods: a radiographic review of the lateral radiographs of 736 middle-eastern knees were performed. patellar tendon length (tl) and the patellar length (tp) was digitally measured and the ratios of these measures was used to calculate the insall-salvati ratio. results: the overall mean tl/pl ratio was 1.20±0.17. the insall-salvati ratio was higher (p=0.0013) in males (1.22± 0.12) than in females (1.18±0.17). according to our measurement, the recommended levels for defining abnormal patellar position should be 0.86 for patella baja and 1.54 for patella alta. conclusion: the use of tl/pl ratio demonstrated a higher incidence of patella alta and a higher mean tl/pl ratio compared to other techniques. the normal ranges for the tl/pl differs from western populations and may be attributed to lifestyle differences.

Position of the patella in adults in central India: evaluation of the Insall-Salvati ratio.

PURPOSE To assess the Insall-Salvati ratio in normal Indian adults to determine its applicability and the incidence of patella alta and baja in Indian populations. METHODS 800 knees in 200 men and 200 women aged 18 to 50 (mean, 30) years were evaluated using lateral radiographs. The knee was set in semi-flexion (30º) to enable good visualisation of the patellar tendon and its insertion into t...

the patellar height. In the article by Upadhyay et al.,1 the standard accepted ratio in the Indian population differs from that of western populations. Such a study helps us understand that morphometry in Asians sometimes differs from that in Caucasians and may be responsible for the occurrence of rare conditions such as superior dislocation of the patella.2 The Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery h...

Neglected patellar tendon rupture. Reconstruction using semitendinosus-gracilis tendon grafts and FiberWire augmentation

Pre-operatively, lateral radiographs of both knees were performed in order to estimate the Insall– Salvati ratio and use the measurement from the uninjured side as a guide during the reconstruction. The Insall–Salvati ratio measured 1.0. The patient was consented for a patellar tendon reconstruction using hamstring graft and possible Z lengthening of the quadriceps tendon. The patient was place...

Patella alta and chondromalacia.

The Insall-Salvati method of determining the position of the patella by radiography was employed in fifty-one patients with chondromalacia patellae that had been proved at arthrotomy. There was no definite relationship between chondromalacia patellae and patella alta. There was, however, a highly significant statistical difference between the ratio of the length of the patella to that of the pa...
