New criterion in radiological diagnostics of dysplastic patellar instability
Abstract
For the first time the concept of the patella-femoral gradient as radiological attribute of existence of dysplastic patellar instability is formulated. It is meant as a difference between corners of the congruency of the right and left patella-femoral joints which in norm does not exceed 0-5°. Calculation of the patella-femoral gradient can be used in the substantiation of the diagnosis of patellar instability as in combination to pathological role of a corner of the congruency of patella-femoral joint and inter-tuberculin depth, and as independent diagnostic criterion
