Abstract :Objective: The aim of this study was to make a detailed anatomical analysis of the parameters of patellar height, the congruence angle, the lateral patellofemoral angle in patients with medial patellofemoral rupture, according to the treatment method (surgical or conventional), gender and whether or not there is a lateral and medial meniscus tears. Methods: This study was planned as retrospective study between January 2010 and January 2021. Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of 61 knees (61 individuals) were obtained for analysis. Of those, 38 knees were left, and 23 were right. One orthopaedic surgeons and two anatomist independently measured patellar morphology, patellar height and patellar alignment and evaluation lateral and medial meniscus tears. Knee MRI protocol including axial T2-weighted turbo spin echo (TR:3600, TE:87 ms; slice thickness 5 mm; gap 1.5 mm) was used. Results: There was a significant difference patellar height (surgery; 1.21±0.27 and conventional; 0.99±0.16), the congruence angle (surgery; -4.94±4.72 and conventional; 4.93±5.72), the lateral patellofemoral angle (surgery; -35.61±16.62 and conventional; 10.93±15.00), except for age parameter (surgery; 27.06±6.20 and conventional; 27.47±5.33) between the conventional and surgical treatment groups (p<0.05). Moreover, we found that 29 patients of the patients with medial patellofemoral rupture had a lateral meniscus tear, 11 patients had a medial meniscus tear, and 8 patients had both lateral and medial meniscus tears. Conclusion: We found that relationship between meniscal tears and medial patellofemoral rupture will affect the treatment course. Also, this study will contribute to evaluate the radiological and clinical correlations, patello-femoral positioning in patients who medial patellofemoral rupture.Keywords : anatomi, uyum açısı, lateral patellofemoral açı, diz, menisküs yırtıkları, patellar yükseklik
