Abstract
Purpose: Infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) plays some biomechanical roles such as stabilizing patella, improving efficiency of extensor mechanism, and relieving mechanical stress to the knee. Recently, endocrine action of IPFP has been received attention in pathophysiology of knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, there is few reports clearly demonstrated relationship between IPFP morphology and knee OA severity. In this study, we have created a new IPFP morphology classification and evaluated the relationship between anatomical features of IPFP and radiological severity of the knee in OA patients.
