Kinematic and dynamic axial computerized tomography of the patellofemoral joint in patients with anterior knee pain

Öz

38 knees of 26 patients with anterior knee pain (12 bilateral) were included in the study. There were 22 women and 4 men (av. Age: 29). Axial CT examination of both knees were always taken at midpatellar level. Patellar tilt 60° of flexion with and withoud muscle contraction. Images were always taken at midpatellar level. Patellar tilt angle (PTA), congruence angle (CA) and sulcus angle (SA) were measured at each knee position. Normal values were also obtained from 14 normal volunteers (28 knees). Thus, types of patellofemoral incongruence were determined at each knee position and plotted on a table. Then the type of incongruence for the knees were noted. Types of patellofemoral incongruence as follows. 1) Tilt + lateralization (TL 12 knees) 2) lateralization (L: 4 knees), 3) medialization (M: 5 knees), 4) lateral to medial instability (LM: 1 knee), 5) tilt (T: 1 knee). 15 knees were classifield as normal. When the groups were analyzed seperately, in the TL group, (T) or (L) component would have been missed in 9 cases if the images were taken only at 30° or only in the first 30° of flexion. In the (L) group 2 patellae were reduced at 30°. In 3 knees in the (M) group medialization began at 10°, 20° and 30°. One patella was reduced at 40. In the (ML) case the patella was lateralized at 0°, 10°, 20°, and medialized at 30° and 40°. In the (T) case, the patella was tilted only at 20°, 40° and 60°. This study showed that axial images taken only at 30° will miss important information. Imaging the first 30° of flexion will not reveal the correct type of instability, either. Serial imaging in a wider range of flexion is necessary for correct diagnosis. Determination of the type of incongruence at different knee positions is a new connept. With this methodology, the presence of medial and lateral to medial instabilities is verified. Hence, the classification systems including only the lateral instabilities should be quostioned
