Summary
This study examined radiological risk factors in patellar instability patterns. Methodological concerns like statistical analysis and patient exclusion may limit findings on trochlear dysplasia, TT-TG distance, and patellar height.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Radiology
- Biomechanical engineering
Background:
- Patellar instability is a common orthopedic condition.
- Radiological risk factors like trochlear dysplasia, tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, and patellar height are implicated.
- Understanding these factors across different patellar instability phenotypes is crucial for effective management.

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...
Knee Joint
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris group...
