PURPOSES

Previous studies on patella-femoral morphology have suggested patella maltracking plays an important part in the aetiology but there had been no studies correlating maltracking with articular cartilage change.

METHODS

We studied 147 consecutive patients (294 knees) aged between 10 and 63 presenting with anterior knee pain. All underwent MRI tracking scan of their knees as part of the routine investigations. We analysed the prevalence of maltracking with respect to gender, laterality and age groups, as well as patello-femoral articular cartilage changes.
