Nail patella syndrome (NPS) is a skeletal dysplasia with patellofemoral
dysfunction as a key symptom. We present the first in-depth radiological
evaluation of the knee in a large series of NPS patients and describe
the typical malformations. Conventional radiological examination of 95 skeletally mature
patients with NPS was performed. Patellar morphology was classified
according to the Wiberg classification as modified by Baumgartl
and Ficat criteria, and trochlear shape was classified according
to the Dejour classification.Aim
