The purpose of this study was to analyze the patellofemoral kinematics in neglected adult developmental dysplasia of the hip patients with patellofemoral symptoms and tried to clarify the affect of the severity of dislocation, the amount of limb length discrepancy, the deviation of mechanical axis and the changes in femoral anteversion on patellofemoral alignment. The dynamic patellofemoral CT results of 39 patients with DDH suffering from knee pain were reviewed. The mean age was 40.07 (range: 22–61). 14 of them were bilateral and 25 were unilateral neglected DDH patients. The CT results of 12 patients suffering from unilateral patellofemoral pain following the treatment of locked intramedullary nailing was taken as control group. In this patients atraumatic and asymptomatic normal site was taken as control group.Aim
