Abstract

Sixty-six knees were investigated to obtain paired values of patellar tendon/patella ratios and sulcus angles as an expression of patellar height and femoral trochlear development respectively. There was a highly significant statistical correlation between the two measurements, high riding patellae occurring with shallow trochleae.
