The modified Insall-Salvati index ratio was the best patella alta indicator that showed chondral status, more than patellar placement, and was more concordant with the other indices.Abstract:
BackgroundThere are many underlying accelerator factors for chondromalacia and one of the well-known factors is patellar malalignment.PurposeTo evaluate the relationship between early-onset chondro...read more

Relation of the chondromalatia patellae to proximal tibial anatomical parameters, assessed with MRI.
Mohammadreza Tabary,Azadehsadat Esfahani,Mehdi Nouraie,Mohammad Reza Babaei,Alireza Khoshdel,Farnaz Araghi,Mostafa Shahrezaee +6 more
TL;DR: The novelty role of tibial anatomy in developing chondromalacia and its mechanism was showed and it was concluded that patellar height might be an important factor in defining disease severity.
Iconography : Knee MR-arthrography in assessment of meniscal and chondral lesions
TL;DR: In this study, MR-arthrography appeared to be superior to conventional MRI in meniscal and cartilaginous lesions diagnosis, confirming the results previously obtained in other countries.

Knee Diameter and Cross-Section Area Measurements in MRI as New Promising Methods of Chondromalacia Diagnosis-Pilot Study
Dominik Sieron,Izabella Jabłońska,Dawid Lukoszek,Karol Szyluk,Hugo Meusburger,Georgios Delimpasis,Maciej Kostrzewa,Ivan Platzek,Andreas Christe +8 more
TL;DR: A significant relationship was found between the knee surface area, knee AP maximal diameter and knee SDmaximal diameter and the advancement of chondromalacic changes in the knee joint, age and BMI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of patella height with distal femur and proximal tibia reference points with artificial neural network
TL;DR: The results show that the proposed approach for modeling of relation between reference measurements and the Ins-Sal index is a powerful approach.

Harvest of All-Soft Tissue Quadriceps Tendon Autograft for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With or Without Closure of Resulting Defect Has No Effect on Patellar Height
Mitchell C. Parker,Sarah D. Lang,Harrison Lakehomer,Steve O’Neil,Timothy S. Crall,Brian B. Gilmer +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the effect of quadriceps tendon harvest on patellar height and determined whether the closure of a graft harvest defect resulted in a significant change in patella height compared to nonclosure.

Age-related changes in the morphology and deformational behavior of knee joint cartilage.
Martin Hudelmaier,Christian Glaser,J. Hohe,K.-H. Englmeier,Maximilian F. Reiser,Reinhard Putz,F. Eckstein +6 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that knee cartilage becomes thinner during aging, in the absence of cartilage disease, is confirmed, but that the amount of reduction differs between sexes and between compartments of the knee joint.

Accuracy of Cartilage Volume and Thickness Measurements With Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Felix Eckstein,Michael Schnier,Michael Haubner,Jürgen Priebsch,Christian Glaser,Karl-Hans Englmeier,Maximilian F. Reiser +6 more
TL;DR: Using three-dimensional image processing, magnetic resonance imaging can provide accurate data on cartilage volume and thickness in the human knee joint surfaces and this imaging technique potentially may be valuable in the treatment of patients with joint disease.

Evaluation of grades 3 and 4 chondromalacia of the knee using T2*-weighted 3D gradient-echo articular cartilage imaging
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that T2*-weighted 3D gradient-echo articular cartilage imaging can identify grades 3 and 4 chondromalacia of the knee.

Association between patellar cartilage defects and patellofemoral geometry: a matched-pair MRI comparison of patients with and without isolated patellar cartilage defects
Julian Mehl,Matthias J. Feucht,Gerrit Bode,David Dovi-Akue,Norbert P. Südkamp,Philipp Niemeyer +5 more
TL;DR: Cartilage defects ofThe patella are associated with the geometry of the patellofemoral joint, and a flat and shallow trochlea, troChlea dysplasia and patellA alta seem to contribute to the development of patellar cartilage defects, which must be taken into consideration when planning to do surgical cartilage repair at thepatella.

Patellar maltracking is prevalent among patellofemoral pain subjects with patella alta: An upright, weightbearing MRI study
Saikat Pal,Thor F. Besier,Gary S. Beaupre,Gary S. Beaupre,Michael Fredericson,Scott L. Delp,Garry E. Gold +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that patellar maltracking is more prevalent in PF pain subjects with patella alta compared to subjects with normal patell a height, and greater patellA height is shown inPF pain subjects compared to pain free subjects using four indices commonly used in clinics.
