Abstract

Patellofemoral problems are among the most common knee problems in orthopaedics and yet are the most poorly understood and poorly treated. There is no well-defined or standardized classification pertaining to this pathologic process. Diagnostic imaging is a critical component of the evaluation and treatment decision process. A variety of radiographic measurements have been described as indicators of structural disease, but comprehensive information recommending radiographic interpretation of patellofemoral dysfunction is lacking. This paper summarizes our recommendations regarding the most important aspects of radiographic technique and image interpretation to adequately evaluate the patellofemoral joint in patients with anterior knee pain or instability.
