Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine physiological reference values for the morphology of the patella and to analyse these parameters according to patella position in healthy knee joints.
Material And Methods: Healthy knee joints of 409 patients (mean age, 52.3 years [± 16.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to establish reference values for femoral condylar morphology (FCM) to assess if standard knee implants accommodate individual anatomy.
- Researchers analyzed knee joints from 517 patients using MRI, measuring key parameters like anterior and posterior condylar offsets and the lengths of medial and lateral condyles.
- Results revealed significant differences in FCM based on gender and side, suggesting that future knee joint replacements should consider these factors for better personalized care.
Background: The tibial slope (TS) defines the posterior inclination of the tibial plateau (TP). The “individual physiological” TS plays a crucial role in knee-joint stability and should be taken into account in knee-joint surgery. The aim of this study was to analyse the specific morphology of the TS for the medial (med) and lateral (lat) TP in relation to patient characteristics and the measurement method.
