Summary
The patellar tendon/patella ratio and the patellofemoral congruence was estimated in 118 knees. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the two measurements, high-riding patella occurring with patellofemoral incongruence.
Zusammenfassung
Das Patellarsehnen/Patella-Verhältnis und die Konkruenz des Femoropatellargelenkes wurden in 118 Knien bestimmt. Es zeigte sich eine statistisch zu sichernde Korrelation zwischen Patellahochstand und Inkonkruenz im Femoropatellargelenk.
