Abstract | Objective: Patellar height is key to knee biomechanics. Variations (alta/baja) have been associated with instability/dislocations, ACL ruptures etch. The effect of abnormal patella height and meniscal lesions is not clear yet; this is a first investigation of this relation. Methods: 100 patients with meniscal tears were X-Rayed to determine patellar height using the Insall-Salvati ratio and the Caton-Deschamps Index. Results: 20% had abnormal patellar height according to the Insall-Salvati ratio and 9% based on the Caton-Deschamps index. Conclusion: This indicates that patella height could be a parameter in the occurrence of meniscal injuries worth investigating in larger populations; yet the mechanism remains unclear. |
