Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The abnormality of some parameters such as congruence angle has statistical significance on anterior knee pain has been confirmed under CT measurement, but has not been confirmed through clinical operations.
OBJECTIVE: To analyzes the relationship between the parameter of knee joint and anterior knee pain through measuring the parameters such as congruence angle, patellofemoral index, lateral patellofemoral angle and tilt angle.
METHODS: Fifty patients with anterior knee pain caused by varying degrees of atellofemoral cartilage damage were included, and the parameters such as congruence angle, patellofemoral index, lateral patellofemoral angle and tilt angle were measured on the patellar X-ray axial film. The parameters were compared with those of the other 50 patients without anterior knee pain and only with meniscus injury.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were significant differences in congruence angle, patellofemoral index and tilt angle on the patellar X-ray axial film, and there was no significant difference in lateral patellofemoral angle. The congruence angle and patellofemoral index have important diagnosis value for the patients with anterior knee pain caused by patellofemoral joint disorders and are considered as the most effective parameters which has clinical efficacy for the patients with patellofemoral joint disorders.
