Abstract:PurposeIn this study, the effect of the most superior point of patella-entrance of femoral trochlea distance ratio
(SP-ET index) on chondromalacia patella (CP) was investigated with 2 reviewers.Material and methodsA total of 348 knees of 308 patients were analysed retrospectively with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients with or without CP constituted the study and the control groups in this cross-sectional investigation. Two reviewers interpreted the dataset regarding the SP-ET index. This ratio was cal… Show more
