چکیده
the patellar height. In the article by Upadhyay et al.,1 the standard accepted ratio in the Indian population differs from that of western populations. Such a study helps us understand that morphometry in Asians sometimes differs from that in Caucasians and may be responsible for the occurrence of rare conditions such as superior dislocation of the patella.2 The Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery has also published many other Commentary: Position of the patella in adults in central India: evaluation of the Insall-Salvati ratio

Position of the Patella among Emirati Adult Knees. Is Insall-Salvati Ratio Applicable to Middle-Easterners?
Background: Abnormal patellar height is associated with anterior knee pain and several conditions that affect the patellofemoral joint. The aim of this study was to 1) report the incidence of patella alta and patella baja and 2) investigate whether the normal limits of the Insall-Salvati ratio is applicable in adult Middle-Easterners. Methods: A radiographic review of the lateral radiograph...
متن کاملPosition of the patella in adults in central India: evaluation of the Insall-Salvati ratio.
PURPOSE To assess the Insall-Salvati ratio in normal Indian adults to determine its applicability and the incidence of patella alta and baja in Indian populations. METHODS 800 knees in 200 men and 200 women aged 18 to 50 (mean, 30) years were evaluated using lateral radiographs. The knee was set in semi-flexion (30º) to enable good visualisation of the patellar tendon and its insertion into t...

متن کاملThe effect of quadriceps contraction during weight-bearing on four patellar height indices.
The effect of weight-bearing on the height of the patellar using four radiological indices was studied in 25 healthy men using lateral radiographs of the knee in 30 degrees of flexion non-weight-bearing and weight-bearing. The position of the patella was quantified using the Insall-Salvati, the modified Insall-Salvati, the Blackburne-Peel and the Caton indices. The contraction of the quadriceps...
متن کاملPatella alta and chondromalacia.
The Insall-Salvati method of determining the position of the patella by radiography was employed in fifty-one patients with chondromalacia patellae that had been proved at arthrotomy. There was no definite relationship between chondromalacia patellae and patella alta. There was, however, a highly significant statistical difference between the ratio of the length of the patella to that of the pa...
