Abstract
Clinical and radiographical examination of 47 volleyball players (94 knees) to assess patellar function and possible patellofemoral pathology, and to detect evidence of imbalance is reported. The clinical examination enbraced objective signs of patellar chondromalacia and subluxation, changes in the load axis, tibial torsion, and measurement of the quadriceps angle. Radiographical investigation of malposition or imbalance was directed to four parameters (intercondylar groove angle, congruence, lateral imbalance angle, and the T/P (patel lar tendon)/(patellar height ratio) in standard and tangential projection. The aim of the study was to see whether a correlation exists between symptoms (or their absence) and the radiographical picture. The preliminary observations now presented underscore the importance of the T/P ratio in interpretation of what may even be clinically silent patellar imbalance, and hence in preventing the possible risks imposed by competitive sport, and progressive arthrosis of the patellofemoral joint.
