MUSA ATAY.
Abstract
Objective: Purpose of the study is to analyze the association between trochlear dysplasia and chondromalacia patellae.
Method: Knee MRI of 191 patients (103 female and 88 male, mean age: 33 ±3.1, range:18-49) with trochlear dysplasia were involved in the retrospective study. Patients without trochlear dysplasia (100 female and 91 male, mean age: 31 ± 4.2 years, range: 18-49) were considered as the controls. Trochlear dysplasia was classified (type A, type B, type C, type D). TT-TG distance was detected. Chondromalacia patellae was examined separately at the medial and lateral facet.
Results: The distribution of trochlear dysplasia was as follows; Type A (50.2 %), Type B (30.3 %), Type C (13.6 %), Type D (5.9 %). Chondromalacia patellae was detected in 81 (42.4 %) of patients with trochlear dysplasia and in 39 (20.4%) of the controls (p
