Abstract：
BACKGROUND:The evaluation of distal transfer procedures relies primarily on qualitative clinical findings. Although quantitative MRI measurements provide an objective supplement to qualitative clinical findings, an association between qualitative clinical findings and quantitative patellofemoral indices has yet to be established. CASE DESCRIPTION:A 21-year-old man presented with frequent episodes of patellar dislocation. Clinical and radiographic findings identified the patient as a candidate for realignment. MR images were obtained with the quadriceps contracted at 30° flexion and in full extension preoperatively and postoperatively. The procedure eliminated the clinical J-sign, defined as lateral movement of the patella over the lateral femoral condyle during active leg extension, which was confirmed quantitatively using established patellofemoral indices in conjunction with MRI. LITERATURE REVIEW:Movement of the patellofemoral joint is complex and dependent on many factors, including skeletal geometry, dynamic muscle action, and soft tissue restraints. Therefore, proper clinical and radiographic evaluation of patellar tracking requires observation during active quadriceps contraction. However, it is unclear whether there is any association between quantitative radiographic indices and qualitative clinical assessment during active quadriceps contraction. PURPOSES AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE:We believe objective measurements are valuable in determining the radiographic assessment of patellar realignment procedures. Lateral patellar edge appears to quantify the clinical J-sign. The association between radiographic medialization of the patella and clinical improvement postoperatively in this patient warrants additional investigation in a larger group of patients with longer followup.
