Abstract
Since 1979 the CT scan has been in common use for femoropatellar pathology. So far it represents the only way to study the femoropatellar joint in the range of 0 1/2–20 1/2 flexion, in which traditional tangential X-rays are insufficient. The CT scan can also be used to explore the knee in hyperextension.
