Abstract des Autors

Kinematic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the patellofemoral joint was developed to evaluate patellar tracking abnormalities. This technique has several advantages over radiography, eg, it does not expose the patient to ionizing radiation, and it clearly defines the patella and the femoral trochlea groove without distortion. It also shows the movement of the patella in relation to the trochlea groove at 5 degrees increments of knee flexion up to 30 degrees. This case report demonstrates the value of kinematic MRI in diagnosing excessive lateral syndrome (a frequent cause of knee pain), which cannot be detected by conventional diagnostic imaging techniques.
