Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the postoperative position of the patella and its relationship with anterior knee pain in patients operated with infrapatellar reamed tibia intramedullary nailing (IMN).

Materials And Methods:  Patients who underwent tibia IMN between 2019 and 2022 and who had anterior knee pain in their postoperative follow-up at least two outpatient clinic controls with an interval of at least one month were examined. Patellar height indices (Insall-Salvati, Blackburne-Peel, Caton-Deschamps, and modified Insall-Salvati) and sagittal angulation (patella-patellar tendon angles) were measured on the lateral direct radiographs of the patients in semi-flexion.
