[Radiological diagnostics of patellofemoral instability and patellar dislocation].
Radiologie (Heidelb) 2024 March 15
Patellofemoral instability (PFI) describes a (sub)luxation of the patella in the patellofemoral joint. Pathophysiologically, PFI is usually due to a nonphysiological movement of the patella, so-called maltracking, either due to acute trauma with injury to the supporting ligamentous apparatus or due to the presence of anatomical risk factors. Radiologically assessable risk factors for maltracking include trochlear dysplasia, patella alta, patellar tilt, lateralization of the tibial tuberosity, torsional deformity and genu valgum. This article presents the most commonly used and best validated measurement techniques. In addition, the characteristic injury pattern after lateral patellar dislocation is shown.
