Abstract:
Seven hundred and five radiographs of the knee were examined and 17.6% showed a so-called Haglund imprint on the patella. The incidence was the same in patients with chondromalacia and in a control group. There was no statistical difference regarding age, sex and body weight. Haglund's imprint is a variation from the normal and is of no diagnostic value.
