Abstract
It was aimed to investigate the relationship between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements of trochlear and patellar morphology and grade 3-4 patellar chondromalacia. Grade 3-4 patellar chondromalacia group, and an age- and sex-matched control group with normal patellar joint cartilage were comprised. For trochlear morphology evaluation in MRI; sulcus angle, trochlear angle, lateral trochlear inclination angle and medial trochlear inclination angle were measured. For patellar morphology evaluation; patella trochlear ratio, insall-salvati ratio, modified Insall- Salvati ratio and Blackburne-Peel ratio were measured. Obtained measurements were statistically analyzed according to demographic characteristics. One hundred and twenty-five patients with chondromalacia and 125 controls participated. The sulcus angle and the trochlear angle were significantly higher in the patellar chondromalacia group (p<0.05). The lateral trochlear inclination angle was significantly less in the patellar chondromalacia group (p=0.011). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of medial trochlear inclination angle (p=0.520). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of patella-trochlear ratio (p=0.617). Insall-Salvati ratio was significantly higher in the patellar chondromalacia group (p=0.003). Modified Insall-Salvati ratio was significantly lower in the patellar chondromalacia group (p=0.001). The rate of Blackburne-Peel was significantly higher in the patellar chondromalacia group (p=0.004). Measurements of sulcus angle, trochlear angle, lateral trochlear inclination angle, Insall-Salvati ratio, modified Insall-Salvati ratio, Blackburne-Peel ratio have diagnostic value for grade 3-4 chondromalacia.
