The measurement of patellar height: a review of the methods of imaging

C L Phillips et al. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2010 Aug.

Abstract

Many radiographic techniques have been described for measuring patellar height. They can be divided into two groups: those that relate the position of the patella to the femur (direct) and those that relate it to the tibia (indirect). This article looks at the methods that have been described, the logic behind their conception and the critical analyses that have been performed to test them.
