Abstract
Purpose: Patellar dislocations are associated with cartilage degradation and an elevated risk of patellofemoral osteoarthritis. Patellar dislocations are also associated with pathologic anatomy that increases the lateral force acting on the patella from the quadriceps muscles and patellar tendon and limits the articular restraint provided by the trochlear groove. The current understanding of how pathologic anatomy contributes to cartilage degradation following a patellar dislocation is limited. The present study was performed to characterize relationships between knee anatomy and cartilage properties for patients who have experienced a patellar dislocation and uninjured controls.
